| Summary |
Doctors are still trained to practise to a deficit model of medicine. This book proposes an abundance model that takes the best of health and wellbeing practices, and considers all four aspects of the individual - physical and mental, emotional and spiritual. In Positive Medicine, Beaumont's disruptive approach takes up the challenge posed by Ivan Illich in Medical Nemesis nearly fifty years ago. He proposes a new relationship between people and their doctors, fostering self-efficacy so that people can be empowered to manage their own health and live happier, healthier lives |
