Health and illness is often measured in policy documents in economic terms, and clinical outcomes are enmeshed in statistical data, with the patient’s experience left to one side. This stimulating book is concerned with how to humanise health and social care and keep the person at the centre of practice.      Caring and Well-Being   opens by articulating Galvin and Todres’ innovative framework for humanising health care and closes with a synthesis of their argument and a discussion of how this can be applied in healthcare policy and practice. It:       presents an innovative lifeworld-led approach to the humanisation of care;      explores the concept of well-being and its relationship to suffering and outlines the rationale for a focus on them within this approach;      discusses how the framework can be applied and how health and social practitioners can draw on aesthetic and empathic avenues to help develop their capacity for care;      provides direction for policy, practice and education.  Investigating what it means to be human in a health and social care context and what the things that make us feel more human are, this book presents new perspectives about how professionals can enhance their capacity for humanly sensitive care. It is a valuable work for all those interested in ideas about care and caring in a health and social context, including psychologists, doctors and nurses.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51097228476689,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51097231982865,"sku":"NIN9780415504607","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52521829138705,"sku":"NLS9780415504607","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0415504600.jpg?v=1750740500"},{"product_id":"routledge-handbook-of-well-being-book-kathleen-galvin-9780367709648","title":"Routledge Handbook of Well-Being","description":"The Routledge Handbook of Well-Being explores diverse conceptualisations of well-being, providing an overview of key issues and drawing attention to current debates and critiques. Taken as a whole, this important work offers new clarification of the widely used notion of well-being, focusing particularly on experiential perspectives.   Bringing together leading authors from around the world, Routledge Handbook of Well-Being reflects on:         What it is that is experienced by humans that can be called well-being.       What we know about how to understand it.       How well-being is manifested in human endeavours through a wide range of disciplines, including the arts.  This comprehensive reference work will provide an authoritative overview for students, practitioners, researchers and policy makers working in or concerned with well-being, health, illness and the relation between all three across a range of disciplines, from sociology, healthcare and economics to philosophy and the creative arts.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51257183109393,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51257185861905,"sku":"NIN9780367709648","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52428437848337,"sku":"NLS9780367709648","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0367709643.jpg?v=1751134162"},{"product_id":"basics-of-speech-2nd-ed-text-book-kathleen-galvin-9780844250502","title":"Basics of Speech, 2nd Ed, Text","description":"he Basics of Speech addresses a very important skill--communication.
