.2. The philosophy of Humanitude®
To prevent abuse and increase patient’s quality of life, Gineste and Pelissier [2] proposed a philosophy of care based on the humanitude concept. They state that being human is being vertical and related to other humans: the concept of humanitude emphasizes the role of gaze, touch, talk, and standing in the care relation with the older disabled persons. These modes of relation are systematically applied to care giving techniques derived from the concept. Through the review of what makes an interpersonal link specifically human, the authors aim at linking science and conscience.
Before engaging in any care activity, the caregiver should establish and instruct the sociallink with the patient through gaze, touch and talk. The caregiver should also encourage physical autonomy, since the body is seen as a dynamic construction reinforced by movement. Establishing this human link costs time. Under tension or time pressure, the caregiver is often trading off between doing fast without relating to the patient or taking time to engage with the patient according to the prescriptions of humanitude. The tradeoff could be detrimental to the patient; indeed, Gineste and Pelissier state that social links, dialogue and movement could succeed where mere medical technique would fail.
