Abstract

This work began with questions that several of us had as we struggled to understand the place of our own and our patients’ worldviews in our clinical work. Collaborative exploration of these issues among colleagues, several of whom have authored chapters in this volume, led to several presentations at annual meetings of the American Psychiatric Association. Over the past decade, these workshops, symposia, and courses have increasingly focused on the worldview of the clinician as an underappreciated variable in the clinical encounter. More recently they have also included presentations by psychiatrists who represent specific worldviews. This book is the published result of these activities.
