Empathy has long been recognized as a key element of the healing professions. Yet it is not always clear how to define the concept, how to measure it, whether there are effective methods to enhance empathy , or whether empathy really helps make treatment more effective. Drawing on evolutionary research, neurological findings, developmental and psychodynamic perspectives, and systems theory, Empathy in Patient Care explains why this human quality is essential to positive health outcomes—and how it can be measured and how professionals can benefit from its enhancement. Dr. Hojat proceeds from theoretical constructs of empathy as a core ingredient of human relationships to analyze the nuanced roles it plays in the therapeutic dyad. Twelve insightful chapters define empathy as it develops during the crucial early months of life, relate it to specific biopsychosocial aspects of health, and place empathy firmly in the context of patient care: -Findings linking higher levels of clinician empathy to a more accurate diagnosis, more positive treatment outcomes, and better patient compliance -The World Health Organization’s definition of health linked to empathy in patient care -Descriptions of effective science-based empathy-building programs -Salient discussion of empathy-related gender and career choice issues as reflected in clinicians’ practice styles -Training issues, from obstacles to empathy in medical school to whether empathy should be considered in admissions decisions -An in-depth grounding in the Jefferson Scale of Physician Empathy, complete with specific versions of this measure for practitioners, students, and patients. Written with great professional and personal vision, Empathy in Patient Care opens its readers—physicians and nurses, psychologists, therapists and social workers, students and the faculty who work with them—to emerging, creative uses for this most basic human attribute. "This book is unique in combining an encyclopedic overview of empathy with a fine-grained, precise way of measuring it. Clinicians, researchers, students, and educators will find in this book both a resource for work already done and a blueprint for what still needs to be done." Herbert Adler, M.D., Ph.D., Clinical Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Jefferson Medical College.

The discipline of obstetrics and gynecology is changing rapidly. It is changing in respect of science and technology (IVF, minimally invasive surgery) and of ethics (termination, genetics, and reproductive technology). The training for the young specialist adapts to these changes. Sadly, however, the old fashioned division of mind from body continues. Words like "holistic" and "psychosomatic" are dismissed, and those responsible for training in the UK persist in refusing to accommodate psychological modules in the training process. This book attempts to address and redress this imbalance. Failure to understand the psychological aspects of a patients presentation leave the doctor feeling vulnerable and inadequate, searching for the right thing to say, avoiding that patient in future with subsequent poor care. This book, by providing the background knowledge, empowers the obstetrician/gynecologist to be in the key coordinating role, and to communicate effectively with all parties and other health workers who may need to be involved in psychological care. This book meets the needs of doctors that are not covered by their training (e.g. a chapter on "Communication Skills. What you can do in 15 minutes", chapter on "Coping and Adjustment in Pregnancy": Giving Babies a Better Start, and chapter on "Communicating with Cancer Patients") Chapters are written by experts in widely differing areas, and show how to use the consultation to maximum benefit for the patient and doctor. Easy-to-read with stand-alone chapters, this book covers key aspects of obstetrics and gynecology, and addresses areas that are not covered in other texts. The book is relevant to all stages of obstetric and gynecological practice - from trainees to consultants (and some lay interest).

This volume - the first-ever collection of research on healthcare interpreting - centers on three interrelated themes: cross-cultural communication in healthcare settings, the interactional role of persons serving as interpreters and the discourse patterns of interpreter-mediated interaction. The individual chapters, by seven innovative researchers in the area of community-based interpreting, represent a pioneering attempt to look beyond stereotypical perceptions of interpreter-mediated interactions. First published as a Special Issue of Interpreting 7:2 (2005), this volume offers insights into the impact of the interpreter - whether s/he is a trained professional or a member of the patient's family - including ways in which s/he may either facilitate or impair reliable communication between patient and healthcare provider. The five articles cover a range of settings and specialties, from general medicine to pediatrics, psychiatry and speech therapy, using languages as diverse as Arabic, Dari, Farsi, Italian and Spanish in combination with Danish, Dutch, English and French.

On May 26, 1993, the Algerian novelist and poet Tahar Djaout was gunned down in an attack attributed to Islamist extremists. An outspoken critic of the extremism roiling his nation, Djaout, in his death, became a powerful symbol for the "murder of Algerian culture," as scores of journalists, writers, and scholars were targeted in a swelling wave of violence.

La problématique de l'expression de volonté des personnes soit incapables juridiquement, soit fragilisées pour des raisons diverses, préoccupe légitimement les praticiens du droit. Il a paru utile d'examiner divers aspects de cette question essentielle liée au respect de la personne humaine en abordant d'une part des questions relevant davantage du droit familial et d'autre part certaines questions particulières au droit médical. Comme on le constatera, si la façon d'aborder ces questions peut différer, leur examen se fonde néanmoins très grandement sur des règles communes. Le premier exposé est consacré à l'examen de la capacité des mineurs face aux soins de santé. Le deuxième traitera des diverses questions liées à l'obtention et l'usage des certificats médicaux. La deuxième partie sera consacrée d'une part à l'examen de l'expression de la volonté de la personne en période de fin de vie et enfin, seront examinées certaines questions liées à la représentation des personnes incapables en relation avec le rôle du médecin.
