This open access book is a unique resource for health professionals who are interested in understanding the philosophical foundations of their daily practice. It provides tools for untangling the motivations and rationality behind the way medicine and healthcare is studied, evaluated and practiced. In particular, it illustrates the impact that thinking about causation, complexity and evidence has on the clinical encounter. The book shows how medicine is grounded in philosophical assumptions that could at least be challenged. By engaging with ideas that have shaped the medical profession, clinicians are empowered to actively take part in setting the premises for their own practice and knowledge development. Written in an engaging and accessible style, with contributions from experienced clinicians, this book presents a new philosophical framework that takes causal complexity, individual variation and medical uniqueness as default expectations for health and illness.

When I sat down to write this book I didn't just want to be another author. I wanted to write about something a lot of people could relate to, so this book tells the story of a young woman who comes from a very strict faith and ventures out into the big city. There she meets a man who, unbeknownst to her, happens to be married. Through her journey with him, she embarks on a life of deceit and betrayal. Everywhere she turns, from the love of her life to her friends she is lied to, cheated on, and stabbed in the back. Her friends start to become distant and one of them comes clean and tells her they are in love with her. It shocks her because it is not one of her male friends. It happens to be someone she trusts. The stress from the situation is so unbearable that it starts to jeopardize her health. She starts having panic attacks and the one person she thought she could trust uses her and takes revenge on her. This is one non-fiction story you will never forget and I promise you, you will be able to relate...
