Connections in the Clinic: Relational Narratives from Team-Based Primary Care

This book assembles many of the foremost writers and clinicians in the  field of team-based primary care to share their own relational  reflections. It features narratives from fields such as integrated  behavioral health, integrated primary care, primary care behavioral  health, medical family therapy, health psychology, primary care  psychology, and clinical social work. The key focus of the chapters are  the relationships that are formed during primary care delivery. The book  is organized into six core chapters: Family of Origin, Teachers and  Mentors, Our Patients and Ourselves, Colleagues and Collaborators,  Clinician as Patient, and Death and Loss. Each chapter contains a  variety of styles and formats of narrative medicine, including personal  reflections, story-telling, and poetry.

Connections in the  Clinic will be of interest to a wide audience of clinicians and  educators dedicated to a reflective or story-telling approach to  healing.
