This pioneering book illustrates the ways in which an interpretive or hermeneutic stance can be incorporated into modern healthcare across clinical practice, clinical ethics, education and leadership - and the transformative effects of doing so.



This pioneering book illustrates the ways in which an interpretive or hermeneutic stance can be incorporated into modern healthcare across clinical practice, clinical ethics, education and leadership - and the transformative effects of doing so.

Combining practical case studies and narrative, the book introduces the hermeneutic window, in which meaning making frames clinical and educational decision making. It shows how best practice requires more than clinical knowledge, communication skills and application of evidence-based medicine. It is within the hermeneutic window that assumptions, meanings and values are examined, questioned and re-examined. Drawing on a wide range of expertise, the chapters challenge existing assumptions about the essence of healthcare and the role that clinicians play within it.

This book is valuable reading for all healthcare practitioners, particularly GPs, physicians, psychiatrists, and psychologists, as well as professions allied to medicine, medical students and other trainees.

Arvustused

'A timely book which argues that relationship based care is more important than ever at a time when health care is increasingly fragmented, taskified, deprofessionalised and digitised.'

Professor Trisha Greenhalgh, University of Oxford

'An inspiring collection of essays that eloquently diagnoses the dis-ease afflicting contemporary healthcare. And 'Finding Meaning in Healthcare' goes beyond diagnosis to offer us the cure - an elegant framework which, applied to every consultation and clinical encounter, will transform the experience of both patients and the practitioners who care for them. Essential reading for anyone who has even an inkling that, for all the spectacular advances of medicine in the scientific era, the practice of healthcare has grievously lost its way.'

Dr Phil Whitaker, Medical Editor, New Statesman, and author of What Is a Doctor? - A GP's Prescription for the Future

'Much of general practice and primary care seems to be drowning in anxiety and despondency both for patients and professionals. This book provides some much-needed life rafts!'

Dr Iona Heath, Past President Royal College of General Practitioners.
