The Patient in the Family diagnoses the ways in which the worlds of home and hospital
misunderstand each other. The authors explore how medicine, through its new reproductive
technologies, is altering the structure of families, how families can participate more fully in
medical decision-making, and how to understand the impact on families when medical
advances extend life but not vitality.
