Paperback. Condición: Good. Building on the success of the first two editions, the author has undertaken a complete revision of the book whilst retaining its readable style, and has also taken the opportunity to incorporate more detailed discussion of clinically applied medical anthropology. Case histories from many different parts of the world have been included and there is new material in every chapter. The aim of this new edition of 'Culture, Health and Illness' is to provide an overview of a rapidly growing subject and to demonstrate how different cultural, social or ethnic groups explain the causes of ill health, the types of treatment they believe in, and to whom they would turn if they were ill. This book has become a recognised authority in its field and has been adopted in over 25 countries as required reading for many courses. A wide range of health professionals including those working in family medicine, psychiatry, psychology, public health, nursing, nutrition and health education, as well as medical anthropologists and medical students should find this an essential purchase.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Frankenstein. Werewolves. Dracula. These images aren't just imaginary creatures -- they're also powerful symbols of the body.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. This is a wonderful collection of stories about doctors and patients, including many by world-famous authors who were also physicians, such as Oliver Sacks, Anton Chekhov and Arthur Conan Doyle. Always moving, entertaining and informative, and sometimes troubling, these remarkable stories will appeal to anyone with an interest in health, illness and medical care. They also provide essential core material for those studying doctor-patient communication, the literature of medicine and medical humanities. The stories, some written from the doctor's viewpoint, some from that of the patient, illuminate the warmth and compassion - but also the many problems - in relationships between doctors and patients, both in the past and today. Doctors and Patients: an anthology is enjoyable, fascinating and enlightening - for oneself, and for friends and partners, whether healthcare professionals or interested general readers.
