Soulful Care -A Physicians Moral Movement.

Caregiving is a profound journey that demands more than just practical skills. It’s a soulful endeavor that requires us to tap into our deepest humanity. While often characterized by its challenges, caregiving is also a rich tapestry of joy, sorrow,and growth. We need a moral awakening to recognize the immense sacrifices caregivers make and to ensure that our healthcare system adequately supports their needs. To provide care is to engage in an act of profound kindness and presence, which ultimately reveals the true essence of our being. It's time to elevate caregiving from a mere task to a sacred calling.

Our Guest: Dr. Arthur Kleinman

When Dr. Arthur Kleinman, an eminent Harvard psychiatrist and social anthropologist, began caring for his wife, Joan, after she was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, he found just how far the act of caregiving extended beyond the boundaries of medicine. In The Soul of Care: The Moral Education of a Husband and a Doctor, Kleinman delivers a deeply humane and inspiring story of his life in medicine and his marriage to Joan, and he describes the practical, emotional and moral aspects of caretaking. He also writes about the problems our society faces as medical technology advances and the cost of health care soars but caring for patients no longer seems important.
