Article Abstract

From our regular book review column.

Physician, heal thyself. This ancient exhortation remains
embedded in the culture of modern medicine. The inculcation of
a noble life devoted to the care of others can tread heavily on the
self-reflective construct of physician well-being and the inner
life of the healer.
