About This Item
KATZ, Jay: The Silent World of Doctor and Patient. Baltimore & London, The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2002. Originally published in 1984. Softcover, 263 pp. Subject: Nonfiction / Medical Ethics / Interpersonal Communication-Doctors and Patients. Condition: Like New. A copy in near-pristine condition with all pages clean and unmarked. "In this eye-opening look at the doctor-patient decision-making process [this book] examines the time-honored belief in the virtue of silent care and patient compliance. Historically, the doctor-patient relationship has been based on a one-way trust – despite recent judicial attempts to give patients a greater voice through the doctrine of informed consent. Katz criticizes doctors for encouraging patients to relinquish their autonomy and demonstrates the detrimental effects their silence has on good patient care. Seeing a growing need in this age of medical science and sophisticated technology for more honest and complete communication between physician and patients, he advocates a new, informed dialogue that respects the rights and needs of both sides." With a new forward by Alexander Morgan Capron. ISBN: 0801857805
