This is a greatly expanded successor to McWhinney's widely acclaimed An Introduction to Family Medicine (Oxford, 1978). It includes much new material on the nature of family medicine and on specific clinical problems. There are two new chapters on the experience of illness, suffering, and healing and on doctor-patient communication. The chapter on the philosophical and scientific basis of family medicine has been expanded while the chapter on clinical method--perhaps the book's core--reflects work in this area over the past decade. The chapter on prevention provides updated recommendations, and the chapter on the family has been enlarged. Five completely new chapters examine common family practice problems. "Anything [Whinney] writes is thoughtful, thought-provoking, and deserving of careful attention. He is the primary interpreter of the epidemiological-preventive medicine and has made a major contribution by publishing, in a single, small volume, the most coherent and complete statement of that perspective. . .recommended for every library devoted to family medicine and family practice." -- Continuing Education for the Family Physician (on An Introduction to Family Medicine )
