Empathy and the Practice of Medicine: Beyond Pills and the Scalpel

Primary Author: Howard M. Spiro, Yale University School of Medicine

From the publisher:

"The book-a collection of essays by physicians, philosophers, and a nurse-is divided into three parts: one deals with how empathy is weakened or lost during the course of medical education and suggests how to remedy this; another describes the historical and philosophical origins of empathy and provides arguments for and against it; and a third section offers compelling accounts of how physicians' empathy for their patients has affected their own lives and the lives of those in their care."
