Book excerpt: La historia cultural de la medicina permite comprender los actuales problemas científicos y sociales, convirtiéndose en un poderoso instrumento para la superación de la crisis cultural de nuestros días. Por ello, aprender de la historia de la medicina es fundamental para cualquier persona interesada en el devenir de la humanidad. Orlando Mejía Rivera inicia su particular historia cultural desde la medicina prehistórica, mágica, chamánica, empírica natural y la de los pueblos mesopotámicos hasta llegar a la medicina del antiguo Egipto. En este primer volumen incorpora los descubrimientos paleopatológicos más recientes, que son de gran significado para cualquier interesado en el origen de las enfermedades infecciosas, metabólicas y del cáncer. Gracias a los descubrimientos genómicos de la tuberculosis, la lepra y la sífilis prehistórica se han derrumbado longevas teorías científicas que se creyeron indiscutibles. «La medicina es ciencia, técnica y arte, el insustituible arte de la relación médico-enfermo. Y su historia, un capítulo imprescindible para comprender la historia de la humanidad». José Manuel Sánchez Ron, historiador de la ciencia y académico de la Real Academia Española «Con la erudición de un Pedro Laín Entralgo (La medicina hipocrática) y las buenas dosis de amenidad divulgativa de Jürgen Thorwald (El siglo de los cirujanos)». El Cultural «[La historia de la Medicina de Orlando Mejía] destila un profundo humanismo y amor a la cultura clásica». Javier Jiménez, editor de Fórcola.

Book excerpt: Ethnic minorities underutilize mental health services, and when they do seek treatment, dropout rates are high. The need for culturally sensitive therapies that incorporate the spiritual values of the minority client cannot be overstated.Authors Ricardo Carrillo, PhD, and Concepcion Martinez Saucedo, PhD, argue that traditional Mesoamerican healing approaches to mental health issues can and should be used by a wide variety of health care practitioners and those in supportive roles, including psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers.In Cultura y Bienestar: MesoAmerican Based Healing and Mental Health Practice Based Evidence, these two experts discuss the efficiency and potential of such traditional practices as Mexican curanderismo, medicina papalote (butterfly medicine), and medicinal drumming.Traditional healing practices view the physical, the mental, and the spiritual as a unified system-unlike the Western approach to mental health and its tendency toward reductionist, symptom-based treatment. Mesoamerican healing also places the patient within the larger context of the community.What Carrillo and Saucedo suggest is nothing less than a revolution in mental health services, blending allopathic care and traditional healing with Western methodologies to create a culturally inclusive care system that acknowledges and respects the spiritual values of minority clients.

Download or read book Medicine as Culture written by Deborah Lupton and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2003 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Second Edition of Medicine as Culture provides a broad overview of the way medicine is experienced, perceived and socially constructed in western societies. Drawing on the tradition of the sociology of health and illness, Deborah Lupton directs readers to an understanding of medicine, health care, illness and disease from a sociocultural perspective. At a time of increasing disillusionment with scientific medicine and the mythology of the beneficent, god-like physician, there is also - paradoxically - a growing dependence on biomedicine to provide the answers to social as well as medical problems. This book illuminates why attitudes to medicine are characterized by such strong paradoxes, and why issues of disease, illness and the medical encounter are surrounded by controversy, conflict, power struggles and emotion.In this second edition, each chapter has been extensively updated to take account of recent research and theoretical developments. New material has been added on postmodernist theory; the male body; and the new genetics. As well as reviewing and critiquing the dominant theoretical approaches in the sociology of health and illness, Medicine as Culture, Second Edition also includes the following key topics:· socio-cultural analysis of health, illness and medicine· elite and media representations of illness · the body in medicine· the language and visual imagery of medicine, illness and disease · and feminist perspectives Integrating cultural studies, social history and contemporary theories of the body, Medicine as Culture, Second Edition will be essential reading for students and academics in the sociology of health and illness, the sociology of consumption and everyday life, medical anthropology, the history of medicine, health communication, women's studies, nursing studies and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Taste for Knowledge: Medical Anthropology Facing Medical Realities demonstrates how medical anthropology is becoming increasingly important in the fields of medical research and public health. The authors examine some of the major issues in medical anthropology today. In this volume, a group of international researchers reflect, for example, on: the way anthropology faces and deals with interdisciplinarity in its encounter with medicine and doctors; the new medical realities and patient strategies that exist in changing medical systems; and the interactions between practice, power and science. The book will appeal to clinicians/practitioners, anthropologists in general, and all those engaged in the interface between medicine and anthropology, but will also be a valuable tool for students of medicine and anthropology who have a special interest in the social realities and interdisciplinarity of health and illness.
