This book, published by Figley et al. discusses the ethics, suffering, and patient-related and political pressures that doctors deal with on a day-to-day basis. The pain physicians feel is human and the persistent demands take a tremendous toll, affecting mental health, job satisfaction, and quality of care. Edited by three medical and mental health educators, First Do No Self Harm offers a clarion call for the improved medical and mental health of physicians across the education continuum by engaging five fundamental questions: (1) What are the sources of stress? (2) What are the stress-related consequences? (3) How do physicians cope with their stressful jobs? (4) What strategies can promote resilience? (5) How can medical and mental health educators acquire skills and wisdom to combat a culture of stoicism and emotional silence?
