But humans are not machines. When we are ill, we experience our illness: we become scared, distressed, tired, weary. Our illnesses are not just biological conditions, but human ones. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt was Arthur Kleinman, a Harvard psychiatrist and anthropologist, who saw this truth when most of his fellow doctors did not. Based on decades of clinical experience studying and treating chronic illness, \u003ci\u003eThe Illness Narratives\u003c\/i\u003e makes a case for interpreting the illness experience of patients as a core feature of doctoring. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBefore \u003ci\u003eBeing Mortal\u003c\/i\u003e, there was \u003ci\u003eThe Illness Narratives\u003c\/i\u003e. It remains today a prescient and passionate case for bridging the gap between patient and practitioner. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Kleinman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1541647122\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781541647121\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Basic Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.90d","brand":"Arthur Kleinman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44048559833343,"sku":"9781541647121","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_537f36ef-34dd-4723-a4f0-2f14c172a330.jpg?v=1684996480","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-illness-narratives-arthur-kleinman-9781541647121","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
