Summary:

'In Search of Dignity' is a collection of candid & insightful publications from one of the world's leading palliative care researchers. It follows Dr Harvey Max Chochinov's decades-long career, beginning as a young psychiatrist from the University of Manitoba to his experience at the prestigious Cornell Medical College & Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centre. Shaped by patient interaction, his deeply human journey formed the basis of a novel program of research & clinical innovations that have helped to shape the field of palliative medicine & care worldwide. Dr Chochinov's research & reflections explore issues that strike at the heart of what it means to be human, mortal, & vulnerable. The chapters reveal the story behind the story of each published paper or speech, the wisdom gained from patients nearing death, & their relevance today.
