Book Synopsis Practicing the Medical Humanities by : Ronald A. Carson
Book excerpt: What can the humanities contribute to the practice of medicine? How, in practice, can this contribution strengthen physician-patient relationships, improve medical education, and improve patient care? The editors seek to engage physicians, humanists, and patients in a conversation addressing these two critical questions, and readers are asked to consider the future of the medical humanities and their goals: what are the possibilities for the renewal of the humanist tradition of practical wisdom, tolerance, and compassion, and what would this mean for the practice of medicine?
