Haley, Harold B.; And Others

Journal of Medical Education, 52, 6, 500-7, Jun 77

Considered were attitudes toward (1) the patient's inner resources to cope with a serious illness such as cancer, (2) the value of early diagnosis, and (3) the value of aggressive treatment, as well as the belief in immortality and preparation for and acceptance of death. Changes occurred throughout medical school, especially during the clinical years. (Editor/LBH)
