399 S., broschiert. Condition: Sehr gut. Einband etwas berieben, papierbedingt leicht gebräunt. - Few fields of human relations display such depth and intensity as the unique world of the hospital. In no other environment, perhaps, is the successful management of these of such long-term importance. Yet, only recently have serious attempts been made on a large scale to analyze the interaction of patients and the several levels of hospital personnel. Here is a book representing the best such research in the area of patient care, the art that is distinct in several respects from the science of patient cure. The articles contained herein will be of profound importance in all studies of the psychosocial aspects of nursing, medicine and hospital administration. They represent many points of view: sociologists, nurses, psychologists, physicians, anthropologists and patients. This multidisciplinary approach will be indispensible to all concerned directly and indirectly with patient care - students of nursing, sociology, medicine and psychology; researchers and practitioners in every health field. This reader brings the social sciences to a critical focus: the patient unit. It demonstrates the dynamics of their concepts in clinical practice, invests the subtleties of patient-personnel relationships with meaning and provides many guidelines for a thoughtful approach to communication of truly therapeutic quality.
