Summary: Health and the Human Condition: Practicing Anthropology
Comment: Medical anthropology, for the most pasrt, has remained an intellectual enterprise with numerous theories regarding how differing cultures experience and deal with illness and disease. This is the first work of its kind to outline the basic elements of our biological and cultural selves and then, using information categories, show the nature of illness and how differing cultures respond. This work also shows that Western biomedicine is no more or less scientific than and any other cultural tradition. In fact, Western biomedicine (excluding trauma medicine) is little interested in health but in economics and experimentation. This work sets the theoritical tone for the second volume in this series, Stress and Emotional Haalth: Applications of Clinical Anthropology, which outlines the similarities one finds when dealing with emotional issues in all cultures, and then presents techniques that anyone can apply. Necessary reading for anyone in anthropology, psychology, medicine, sociology, and nursing interesting in the nature of health and healing.
