«Modi di morire» is Iona Heath's essay on the end of life, published by Bollati Boringhieri in paperback (116 pages, in Italian).
Drawing on her experience as a family doctor in a poor London neighborhood, Iona Heath explores the relationship with the patient when medicine can no longer cure. The author combines clinical practice with literature and philosophy to reflect on the passage toward death, the relief of suffering and a dignified death, without falling into therapeutic over-treatment.
It belongs to the Incipit collection. The edition is edited by Maria Nadotti, with an afterword by John Berger. Published in 2008.
For readers interested in the doctor-patient relationship, the end of life and humanistic reflection on illness.
