Author Biography: James Monroe Smith
JAMES MONROE SMITH is a lawyer and scientist who has taught courses on the sociopolitical aspects of AIDS.
Book Synopsis
A holistic view of the factors that impact the health of a patient beyond the illness itself.
Booknews
Smith, a lawyer, founded the AIDS Legal Council of Chicago in 1988, and here writes from his own experience as being HIV positive as well as that of people he has worked with. He discusses such aspects of health care as defining health, the impact of illness, the role of emotions and personality in health, the role of the spirit, communication between physicians and patients, legal issues in the health care setting, and the doctor's role as advocate. He hopes to reach medical students and young practitioners before they petrify into bad habits. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
