9781513686271 NAMASTE - Humanism in Child Neurology by David Coulter, Alcy Torres

Description:
The goal of the Namaste project was to realize a global vision of humanism in child neurolo-gy and neurodevelopmental disabilities and to share that vision with our colleagues in every country in the world. Practicing child neurology with a humanistic perspective means treat-ing patients and their families with respect. We understood that this could have a very dif-ferent meaning in other cultural contexts. Thus, we proposed a global effort to learn what humanism in child neurology means in every culture, society and country all over the world. We did not have any preconceived notions about the global aspects of humanism in child neurology. We explicitly rejected any attempt to impose a particular world view (such as an American or European world view) and designed the project to welcome contributions from everyone all over the world. In a global and interconnected world, we hoped to bring all child neurologists together to share the meaning of humanism in every culture, society and country worldwide.
