Abstract
It is argued that palliative medicine may be in danger of developing into a specialty of 'symptomatology'. Such a specialty would be confined by the limits of the medical model and its particular view of illness. The potential for physicians working in palliative medicine to go beyond symptom control to creating conditions where healing at a deep personal level may occur for the individual patient, and the practical and personal implications of this, are discussed.
