«Although Busquets develops its study in order to be useful to health professionals, the book is at the same time an excellent introduction to the ethics of care itself, a complete analysis of the dimensions of care and its justification as an ethical imperative. »-Victoria Camps

This book is about the ethics of care applied to the field of health sciences. For professionals in this field, it is essential to have a good conceptual and practical knowledge of the virtues necessary to reach an excellent form of care. For this, Ester Busquets chooses, in an original way, The Death of Ivan Illich by Lev Tolstoy as a reference and source of resources that illustrate the paradigm of interpersonal care.

In this work, health professionals - whether doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, nutritionists or social workers - as well as the interested reader, will find the keys to interpret and better understand the different aspects of interpersonal relationships, in order to consolidate and put into practice attitudes that help improve the care of the other.
