Providing Compassionate Healthcare: Challenges In Policy And Practice (Routledge Advances In Health And Social Policy)

This book was inspired by the apparent need to restore humanity to healthcare, particularly within a period of austerity, affecting many countries. Furthermore it was intended to look at the broader picture at various levels of the healthcare system, as compassion across the health care teams themselves, and from an organizational level are essential factors. Compassion is a growing field requiring a multidisciplinary approach, thus we are privileged to have contributions from a range of different fields, covering medicine, nursing, psychotherapy, psychology, sociology, and organizational factors, to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the book.
