Sommario/riassunto

Before curing was a possibility, medicine was devoted to the relief of suffering. Attention to the relief of suffering often takes a back seat in modern biomedicine. This book seeks to place suffering at the centre of biomedical attention, examining suffering in its biological, psychological, clinical, religious, and ethical dimensions.
