Download or read book Men s Health and Illness written by Donald Sabo and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 1995-08-30 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reader, whether a professional health care worker, researcher, clinician, or concerned individual, will obtain a clearer perspective on the connections between men′s health and gender, along with a broader conceptualization of the experiences of men in contemporary society. --Choice Men′s Health and Illness contextualizes men′s health issues within the broader theoretical framework of the new men′s studies. This framework focuses on the profound influence of gender on social life and individual experience. The editors and chapter contributors of this groundbreaking volume argue that gender is a key factor for understanding the patterns of men′s health risks, the ways men perceive and use their bodies, and men′s psychological adjustment to illness itself. Part I introduces readers to men′s studies perspectives and explains their relevance for understanding men′s health. Part II explores the linkages between traditional gender roles, men′s health, and larger structural and cultural contexts, and Part III examines the implications of multiple masculinities for health issues. The scope of this volume is both multidisciplinary and international. The authors use quantitative and qualitative research methodologies which provide a well-rounded analysis of the subject matter. Taken collectively, the contributions to Men′s Health and Illness reflect current efforts by men′s studies practitioners to develop theoretical explanations of men′s lives that also refer to the influences of class, race, ethnicity, sexual preference, and age. This collaborative effort in presenting research and theories is so significant that it should become part of the literature studied by advocates of women′s studies and men′s studies. The reader, whether professional healthcare worker, researcher, clinician, or concerned individual will obtain a clearer perspective on the connections between men′s health and gender, along with a broader conceptualization of the experiences of men in contemporary society.

Download or read book Curing Their Ills written by Megan Vaughan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-06 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Curing their Ills traces the history of encounters between European medicine and African societies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Vaughan's detailed examination of medical discourse of the period reveals its shifting and fragmented nature, highlights its use in the creation of the colonial subject in Africa, and explores the conflict between its pretensions to scientific neutrality and its political and cultural motivations. The book includes chapters on the history of psychiatry in Africa, on the treatment of venereal diseases, on the memoirs of European 'Jungle Doctors', and on mission medicine. In exploring the representations of disease as well as medical practice, Curing their Ills makes a fascinating and original contribution to both medical history and the social history of Africa.

Download or read book Power and Illness written by Daniel M. Fox and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 1993-09-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During most of this century, American health policy has emphasized caring for acute conditions rather than preventing and managing chronic illness—even though chronic illness has caused most sickness and death since the 1920s. In this provocative and wide-ranging book, Daniel Fox explains why this has been so and offers a forceful argument for fundamental change in national health care priorities. Fox discusses how ideas about illness and health care, as well as the power of special interest groups, have shaped the ways in which Americans have treated illness. Those who make health policy decisions have increased support for hospitals, physicians, and medical research, believing that people then would become healthier. This position, implemented at considerable cost, has not adequately taken into account the growing burden of chronic disabling illness. While decision makers may have defined chronic disease as a high priority in research, they have not given it such a priority in the financing of health services. The increasing burden of chronic illness is critical. Fox suggests ways to solve this problem without increasing the already high cost of health care—but he does not underestimate the difficulties in such a strategy. Advocating the redistribution of resources within hospital and medical services, he targets those that are redundant or marginally effective. There could be no more timely subject today than American health care. And Daniel Fox is uniquely able to address its problems. A historian of medicine, with knowledge of how hospitals and physicians behave and how health policy is made at government levels, he has extensively researched published and unpublished documents on health care. What he proposes could profoundly affect all Americans.
Download or read book Transcending Illness Through the Power of Belief written by Adolfo Quezada and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being diagnosed with a serious illness is shocking and can leave chaos, confusion, fear, and anxiety in its wake. But what if we looked at illness as a catalyst for deep healing of our whole selves? In his guidebook Transcending Illness through the Power of Belief, seasoned psychotherapist Adolfo Quezada reminds us of our essential wholeness as human beings and encourages us to live in that perspective-even when facing illness or death. Quezada relies on his twenty-five years of experience providing counseling to thousands suffering from the effects of trauma and chronic illnesses to share a simple message: we heal from the inside out. For those who must travel the path of serious illness, Quezada offers ways to face sickness head-on and use it as an opportunity to awaken faith, remember holiness, and give purpose to burdens. Through touching personal anecdotes, Quezada also teaches that good can indeed come of illness by encouraging the unwell to become more compassionate, live with greater purpose, and touch the lives of others in profound ways. Transcending Illness through the Power of Belief is an inspirational guidebook for anyone impacted by illness, end of life issues, and the important role of faith in these stages of life. "As we read these pages, we discover that our embrace of illness and death actually becomes the source of interior peace we may have not yet experienced." -from the foreword by Msgr. Robert D. Fuller, author of Adventures of a Collegial Parish and Homilies from the Heart

Download or read book The Power of the Media in Health Communication written by Valentina Marinescu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-20 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Health is a contested concept that has been defined in numerous ways. The media is extremely powerful in promoting health beliefs and in creating role models for contemporary people. The ways in which health is defined or understood can have wide-ranging implications and can have an impact on issues such as health promotion or health literacy. Health presentation in the media has a significant social impact because this type of message is important in changing people's beliefs, attitudes and behaviours relating to health and in promoting health-related knowledge among the target audience. The present volume provides an interdisciplinary and multicultural contemporary approach to the controversial link between medicine and media. The authors that have contributed to this volume analyse the media and medicine from different perspectives and different countries (USA, UK, Portugal, Turkey, Taiwan, Mexico, Estonia, Romania), thus offering a re-positioning of the study of media and medicine. The new perspectives offered by this volume will be of interest to any health communication or media studies student or academic since they bring to light new ideas, new methodologies and new results.
