Description
In an era of transition and tension in American health care, Dorothy M.
Owens offers a model of empathic communication that benefits both patients and physicians.
Drawing from concepts in the domains of psychology and theology, she constructs a model of empathy that is ethical and reciprocal.
An integrated model of empathy recognizes the physical, psychological, spiritual, and social nature of human beings.
Empathy is a clinically useful, time-effective communication skill that can be taught in medical and pastoral education.
Dr. Owens's unique approach to empathy is applicable to other professional and personal relationships as well.
