Wiley Series in Culture and Professional Practice: Culture and Health

Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Physical and mental symptoms often point beyond the individuals who experience them, to the communities and cultures to which they belong. Cultural constructions of illness and health are imbued with subtle meanings, with messages, which we must learn to listen to. Exploring the fascinating interplay between culture and health, this book is concerned with helping students and clinicians think through the practical implications of working with people from different cultures. Drawing on research from psychology, sociology, anthropology and medicine, the author sets out guidelines for good practice.
