Homo Patiens - Approaches to the Patient in the Ancient World de Georgia Petridou

Homo Patiens - Approaches to the Patient in the Ancient World: Studies in Ancient Medicine, cartea 45

Editat de Georgia Petridou, Chiara Thumiger
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 26 noi 2015
Homo Patiens - Approaches to the Patient in the Ancient World is a book about the patients of the Graeco-Roman world, their role in the ancient medical encounters and their relationship to the health providers and medical practitioners of their time.

This volume makes a strong claim for the relevance of a patient-centred approach to the history of ancient medicine. Attention to the experience of patients deepens our understanding of ancient societies and their medical markets, and enriches our knowledge of the history of ancient cultures. It is a first step towards shaping a history of the ancient patient’s view, which will be of use not only to ancient historians, students of medical humanities, and historians of medicine, but also to any reader interested in medical ethics.

Recenzii

"[T]he conference volume under review is the first contribution from classicists to the field of medical or health humanities, the attendant humanities perspectives used in preprofessional and professional medical education. The twenty papers collected are the most sustained discussion of the ancient evidence of humanistic topics central to contemporary medical education: patients' emotional experience, pain management, fees, patient autonomy, narrative medicine, the clinical encounter, embodiment, and confidentiality, among others." Marquis Berrey, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2016.08.03.
