Abstract
This book, and this chapter, explore health practice relationships. This chapter sets the scene for the book and privileges the humanity and diversity of social and practice relationships that this title evokes. In Chapter 2 we turn to the topic of professional practice, placing this book predominantly in the context of Western orthodox medicine today, and we place the clients, support people and healthcare providers at the centre of our discussion.
