From Detached Concern to Empathy: Humanizing Medical Practice
Halpern, Jodi (Assistant Professor of Bioethics and Medical Humanities, Assistant Professor of Bioethics and Medical Humanities, University of California, Berkeley, USA)
Physicians recognize the importance of patients' emotions in healing yet believe their own emotional responses represent lapses in objectivity. Patients complain that physicians are too detached. Halpern argues that by empathizing with patients, rather than detaching, physicians can best help them.
