Abstract

physiological, anatomical and therapeutic point of view, between the male and female sexes. He then emphasises the relationships between the different age groups. In the last section G. concludes that consideration of the sick person justifies the practice of a friendly medicine based on trust, which allows the patient to consider death without fear and to maintain hope of salvation in the face of illness. The fourth chapter discusses the medical dialogue between the patient and the caregiver. This dialogue takes many forms and can take place at any time in a therapeutic process. It is considered as a complement to the external signs of disease and to its immediacy, because it allows the reporting of events that occurred from the manifestation of the illness until the arrival of the caregiver. G. conducts a careful examination of the philosophical framework of Celsus' medicine. This book is the first comprehensive approach to Celsus' work and takes into account all aspects from its publication by Celsus himself to its implementation by a caregiver, specialist or non-professional.
