3.0 out of 5 stars Patients and healers in the context of culture, June 21, 2005
This review is from: Patients and Healers in the Context of Culture: An Exploration of the Borderland Between Anthropology, Medicine and Psychiatry (Comparative studies of health systems and medical care) (Hardcover)
Describes observations of clinical interviews between various medical practitioners, namely folk healers, temple medicine men, and Chinese style and Western style physicians, and their patients. Stresses the importance of adopting proper cultural perspectives, making one's interpretations within that framework, and relying on direct observation. Urges an integration of social and cultural methods into the routine training of doctors, so as to enable a more humane and appropriate clinical practice.
