Christa Teston offers a smart and timing assessment of dignified health and medical care. Based on observations and interviews, Teston presents three case studies involving recent health and medical practice and extending theoretical scholarship. She demonstrates that dignified care is not only an ethical but also a rhetorical practice.
In this meticulously researched and deeply ethical book Christa Teston reveals dignity through entangled processes of acknowledging-imagining-persuading-reflecting. At a moment when suffering seems to be expanding around us, Teston offers material, grounded, real-time, often mundane, and always necessary means for approaching dignified care and ethically engaging difference.
