Description
'Healthcare professionals spend much of their time listening to stories of sickness related bypatients and their families.
It thus seems appropriate that drama, which is primarily concerned withexploring narratives, change and crises and relies, like the clinical situation, on communication, is anideal medium for healthcare professionals to gain new insights into care.’ From the IntroductionGood communication forms the heart of patient-centred care and is the cornerstone of atrusting relationship. Enhancing Compassion in End-of-Life Care Through Drama explores abroad range of plays from Greek tragedy to the present day andinvestigates how particular theatrical dynamics help to understandcomplexities in the setting of end-of-life care.
It examines fresh ways tointerpret the action and subtext represented on the stage and findssymmetries in a clinical context. It is ideal for use in a range of educational contexts, with practicalideas for workshops and summaries of key concepts in each chapter. This book will motivate all members of the multidisciplinary palliativecare team including palliative care professionals, doctors, nurses,psychologists, spiritual advisers and social workers.
Although based inthe setting of palliative care, the learning points are relevant to all areasof clinical practice.
