Meaning
in Suffering Compelling, timely, and essential reading
for healthcare providers, Meaning in Suffering addresses the
multiplicity of meanings suffering brings to all it touches:
patients, families, health workers, and human science professionals.
Examining suffering in writing that is both methodologically
rigorous and accessible, the contributors preserve first-hand
experiences using narrative ethnography, existential hermeneutics,
hermeneutic phenomenology, and traditional ethnography. They
offer nuanced insights into suffering as a human condition experienced
by persons deserving of dignity, empathy, and understanding.
Collectively, these essays demonstrate that understanding the
suffering of the "other" reveals something vital about
the moral courage required to heal-and stay humane-in the face
of suffering. Media & bookseller inquiries regarding review copies, events, and interviews can be directed to the publicity department at publicity@uwpress.wisc.edu or (608) 263-0734.
