Explores the ways in which we sometimes attempt to bypass the dominant ideologies of health care in the medical institutions of our cultures. Case studies from India, the South Asian Diaspora, and Europe are used to understand the blurring of therapeutic boundaries. A combination of methodological expertise, basic research, and cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary acumen are used to dissect the study of medical pluralism.

Hardback. Zustand: New. Ideas about health are reinforced by institutions and their corresponding practices, such as donning a patient's gown in a hospital or prostrating before a healing shrine. Even though we are socialized into regarding such ideologies as "natural" and unproblematic, we sometimes seek to bypass, circumvent, or even transcend the dominant ideologies of our cultures as they are manifested in the institutions of health care. The contributors to this volume describe such contestations and circumventions of health ideologies, and the blurring of therapeutic boundaries, on the basis of case studies from India, the South Asian Diaspora, and Europe, focusing on relations between body, mind, and spirit in a variety of situations. The result is not always the "live and let live" medical pluralism that is described in the literature. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers LU-9781782383086
