About this book

Caring for Patients: A Critique of the Medical Model by Barbour, Allen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780804723893.

"See your patient as a person, not a disease." This is the essential message of an experienced and compassionate physician who questions the prevailing medical model of patient care - that every illness has a physical cause that can be identified and treated medically - and who argues for the necessity of taking the psychological and social circumstances of the patient into account in the process of diagnosis and treatment.
