According to recent studies, healthcare professionals wearing white coats still convey a clearer perception of assurance and know-how to their patients and a feeling of trust and hope for a quality treatment. At the same time, the white coat could also instil feelings of dread and anxiety, triggering deep and irrational fears, without undermining the patients’ trust in the healthcare professional wearing it. This volume analyses the multifaceted nature of this attire through interviews, memoirs, and the authors’ own reflections.
