The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Doctor
Autor Arthur Kleinmanen Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 aug 2020
'Beautiful and deeply moving. A truly extraordinary work that will change how we think about our lives and the society we live in' Michael Puett, author ofThe Path
When Dr Arthur Kleinman, an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and social anthropologist, began caring for his wife, Joan, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the boundaries of medicine. InThe Soul of Care, he delivers a deeply inspiring story about what it means to grapple with illness from both sides, as an experienced doctor and a loving husband.
Caregiving is long, hard, unglamorous work - at moments joyous, more often tedious, sometimes agonizing, but always rich in meaning. Describing the practical, emotional and moral aspects of caring, Kleinman explores how we must ask uncomfortable questions of ourselves and of our doctors. Poignant and honest,The Soul of Careis an uplifting story about what really matters in our lives.

Beautiful and deeply moving. A truly extraordinary work that will change how we think about our lives and the society we live in
A personal and professional memoir like no other: how the founder of the field of medical anthropology learned that caring meant listening, and how at the peak of his career, when personal tragedy struck, Kleinman learned the deepest meanings of care
At once a manifesto for decent health care and a brave exposing of an inner life,The Soul of Caregives language for what we all crave - effective, generous health care that nourishes those who give and those who receive until they recognize their oneness
Deeply affecting. . . A testament to the human capacity to draw sustenance from the memories of love, even as those memories are disappearing in the person loved. It is an important book
Heartfelt, beautifully written, incredibly moving, and so instructive . . . This story will stay with me
