The Lost Art of Caring

This book provides a great service by drawing attention to the vital role of caring in health care and caregiving. As it makes clear, caring-the concern, compassion, and support of health professionals, family members, and communities-is of great importance to those who are coping with illness or disability and are in pain and suffering. I strongly commend The Lost Art of Caring as essential reading. This book highlights the challenges to be met if we are to rekindle caring as an essential part of our culture. After all, at one time or another in our lives, we will all need caring. -- From the foreword by Rosalynn Carter
