Journal Article
The art of medicine: The dangerous practice of empathy
2009
Overview
Both of these concerns-about definition and measurement-derive from a fundamental problem with the philosophy of human nature espoused by traditional medical practice: that of regarding the patient as an object whose physical being, psychological responses, and emotional experiences can all be broken down, accessed, and recorded. In her autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath's character, Esther, describes a severe depressive episode, unrelieved by sleep: I saw the days of the year stretching ahead like a series of bright, white boxes, and separating one box from another was sleep, like a black shade.
