Synopsis "Problems With Patients Hardback: Managing Complicated Transactions "

When patient meets doctor, as well as engaging in a transaction with a clinical purpose, they react to one another as people. Their personalities and ability to form relationships in general also affect the professional interaction. As with other relationships, things can go wrong. The outcome of the consultation may not be what either individual hoped for or intended. Norton and Smith explore the factors that can cause problems in the doctor-patient relationship. Within a model studied from three theoretical perspectives, the authors emphasize the often unconscious personal aspects of the doctor-patient interaction, and offer concrete advice to help doctors manage their dealings with patients. This fresh look at an important but often neglected aspect of health care will be vital reading for all doctors, psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, social workers, medical students, health care administrators, and patients' rights advocates.

Peter Kingsley (United Kingdom, 1953) is a British philosopher, mystic, and scholar known for his work in reviving the spiritual roots of Western philosophy. Educated at the universities of Lancaster, Cambridge, and London, he has been an honorary professor at institutions in Canada and the United States. His work focuses on the Presocratics Parmenides and Empedocles, whom he presents as spiritual figures rather than mere rational thinkers. Kingsley combines academic research with a mystical perspective, seeking to revive forgotten traditions of Western wisdom.

Among his most notable books are Ancient Philosophy, Mystery, and Magic (1995), In the Dark Places of Wisdom (1999), Reality (2003), Catafalque: Carl Jung and the End of Humanity (2018), and A Book of Life (2021). His work has been translated into more than a dozen languages and has influenced both academic and spiritual circles. Kingsley has collaborated with various spiritual traditions and has been recognized for his innovative approach to interpreting ancient philosophy.
