The foundational knowledge and practical actions you need to effectively address your patients’ emotions—and manage your own Emotions are ever-present in the context of illness and medical care and can have an enormous impact on the well-being of patients and healthcare providers alike. Despite this impact, emotions are often devalued in a medical culture that praises stoicism and analytical reasoning. Featuring the latest theories and research on emotion in healthcare, this much-needed resource will help you build the necessary skillset to navigate the extraordinary emotional demands of practicing medicine. Emotion in the Clinical Encounter will help you: Learn the science of emotion, as it relates to clinical care Understand the role of emotion in illness Recognize the connection between clinical response to patient emotions and care outcomes Develop effective strategies for emotion recognition Build strong emotional dialogue skills for medical encounters Identify biases that may shape clinical interactions and subsequent outcomes Understand emotion regulation in patients, providers, and in the clinical relationship Address challenges and opportunities for clinical emotional wellness Identify a new path forward for delivering emotion-based medical school curricula “How did we manage for this long in healthcare without this textbook? This is an essential guide to help both trainees and established clinicians sharpen their skills. Our patients will only benefit when we bring our full set of skills to the bedside." —Danielle Ofri MD, PhD, Clinical Professor of Medicine, New York University, Editor-in-Chief of Bellevue Literary Review, and author of What Doctors Feel: How Emotions Affect the Practice of Medicine “This is a unique contribution that deeply explores the role of emotions in clinical medicine, drawing on a wide range of disciplines and presenting both scholarly paradigms and practical applications. It should be essential reading for medical educators, clinicians and patient advocates who all aim to better navigate today’s frustrating healthcare system.” —Jerome Groopman MD, Recanati Professor Harvard Medical School, and author of How Doctors Think “Emotion in the Clinical Encounter is a must-read book for clinicians. It would be especially helpful if medical students start their careers by reading this invaluable volume to gain a deeper understanding of human emotion. The book is evidence-based and detailed enough to be perhaps the definitive guide to emotions for the clinician.” —William Branch, MD, MACP, FACH, The Carter Smith, Sr Professor of Medicine, Emory University

This paper examines Edwin AtLee Barber's collecting practices in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries at the Pennsylvania Museum and the consequent formation of a canon of Pennsylvania German pottery. The resultant impact on popular and academic perceptions of Pennsylvania Germans and their pottery is of interest not only to scholars in this specific field but also to those who study the art of any cultural minority group and ultimately to the broader discourse of American art history and historiography. Through the consideration of this collection as an object and as an agent of cultural construction, this case study will uncover the relationships that exist between museum collecting and display and the formation of identity and Otherness. This study seeks to uncover the origins of the now well known collection of Pennsylvania German wares at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and the resultant emergence of a canon of Pennsylvania German pottery. Through an examination of archival material, the negotiations between Barber's collecting vision and the Museum's practical and intellectual guidance are explicated and the consequent identity construction is illuminated. I conclude this paper with an examination of Barber's use of exhibition design and object installation in order to understand the interactions that public audiences had with the collection. In the years following Barber's 1916 death, the PMA continued to think about innovative ways to acquire and display their extensive Pennsylvania German collection such that it became a venue for academic discourse in the fields of art history, material culture, and now ethnography and museum studies. This paper illuminates this particular collection while simultaneously posing the broader theoretical questions surrounding ethnographic collecting and the construction of cultural identity.
