Counseling model: creating a healing environment in hospitals [In Process Citation]

Journal/Book: Patient Educ Couns. 1999; 36: 81-9.

Abstract: There are ways in which more holistic approaches to medicine can be achieved through the establishment of alternative hospitals and health- care centers, as has happened in the United States, and changes in midwifery and care for the dying through a more compassionate approach and the use of prescriptive music. Transformations of medical care in The Netherlands are also taking place, with existing hospitals gradually developing more patient-centered approaches and organizations like the Helen Dowling Institute providing tailor-made forms of psycho- social counseling for those with cancer and life-threatening illness.
