About this book
This book assembles many of the foremost writers and clinicians in the field of team-based primary care to share their own relational reflections. It features narratives from fields such as integrated behavioral health, integrated primary care, primary care behavioral health, medical family therapy, health psychology, primary care psychology, and clinical social work. The key focus of the chapters are the relationships that are formed during primary care delivery. The book is organized into six core chapters: Family of Origin, Teachers and Mentors, Our Patients and Ourselves, Colleagues and Collaborators, Clinician as Patient, and Death and Loss. Each chapter contains a variety of styles and formats of narrative medicine, including personal reflections, story-telling, and poetry.
Connections in the Clinic will be of interest to a wide audience of clinicians and educators dedicated to a reflective or story-telling approach to healing.
Reviews
“For the new-to-the-profession student or resident, the book serves as a preview and road map to anticipated experiences and emotions. For the seasoned provider, the narratives undoubtedly will trigger memories of similar personal and professional experiences. … If storytelling encourages educators to bring the humanity into the teaching of medicine, does it not also remind us of our own humanity and inherent vulnerabilities? Connections in the Clinic succeeds in both.” (Franklin Berkey, Family Medicine, Vol. 55 (4), 2023)
