  • Dignity Therapy: In conversation with Dr. Chochinov
    Jan 15 2025

    People often speak of the importance of dignity at the end of life.

    Sometimes the medicalization of illness interrupts being seen in our full humanness which erodes our sense of dignity.

    In the first episode of 2025, we speak with Dr. Harvey Chochinov, physician, author, researcher, and developer of Dignity Therapy, who shows us how to put dignity front and center in the process of caring for those living with a life-threatening illness.
