les lui prodigue. La réalité est souvent très différente. Soigner est peut-être naturel quand il s'agit de nos proches, mais les professionnels de la santé n'ont souvent ni la formation ni la motivation pour exercer dans les conditions adéquates. Un peu partout, le monde médical reste marqué par une culture peu propice au souci et au respect de l'autre. Certaines attitudes médicales peuvent même être maltraitantes, en particulier à l'égard des femmes. S'appuyant sur des exemples tirés des contextes français et québécois, Zaffran a voulu aller au fond de cette question, qu'il a souvent abordée dans ses différents ouvrages : comment la relation entre patient et médecin peut-elle cesser d'être un rapport de force et devenir, pleinement, une relation de soin - c'est à dire d'entraide, de soutien et de partage. 2014.Magic or medicine?: an investigation of healing and healers
