The theme of the 2005 conference, "The 'E' Word: The Role of Emotion in Health Care," explores the risky, ambiguous and complex topic of affect (positive and negative) in patient care and clinical practice. Does the emphasis on clinical empathy newly valorize the role of emotion in health care or simply submerge it once again? How do health care professionals balance a resistance to passion--an unwillingness to let go--with a challenge to be present--a willingness to participate? Can the clinical encounter be understood and approached as an aesthetic experience?
In Civilization and Its Discontents, Freud himself expressed the difficulty and the danger of attempting to understand the emotional responses of others and even, our own: "It is not easy to deal scientifically with feelings." However, while it has not been easy to discard that age old reason/emotion dichotomy, neurobiologists now propose that emotions are actually enmeshed in the network of reasoning processes. And just as good teachers have always known that learning cannot occur without emotional involvement, good health care professionals also know that emotional interactions play a role in healing. Our keynote discussants will examine such issues to foster a better understanding of ourselves and of our relationships with our students, our patients and our colleagues.
