It conveys the wisdom about the doctor–patient relationship that has i9ndeed been lost in the

noise of high–tech, profit–driven medicine.

’

The real crisis in medicine today is not about economics, insurance, or managed care –

it’s about the loss of the fundamental human relationship between doctor and patient.

In this wise and passionate book, one of our most eminent physicians reacquaints us

with a classic notion often overlooked in modern medicine: that healing is an art.

Drawing on four decades of practice as a cardiologist and a vast knowledge of literature

and medical history, Dr. Lown probes the heart and soul of the doctor–patient

relationship. Insightful and accessible to all, The Lost Art of Healing describes how true

healers use sympathetic listening and touch to hone their diagnostic skills, how

language affects the perception of illness, how doctors and patients can cultivate

relationship of trust, and how patients can obtain the most complete and beneficial care

through a combination of healing techniques and conventional practices.

As Dr. Lown explains, the art of healing does not mean abandoning the spectacular

advances of modern science, but rather incorporating them into a sensitive, humane,

enlightened approach to medical care. With its urgent message and poignant,

fascinating vignettes, The Lost Art of Healing is a book of vital, universal importance.
