How should we perceive the human  body? Is it best understood biologically, experientially, culturally?  How do social institutions exercise power over the body and determine  norms of health and behavior? The answers arrived at by  phenomenologists, social theorists, and feminists have radically  challenged our cenventional notions of the body dating back to 17th  century Cartesian thought. \u003cbr\u003e  This is the first volume to systematically explore the range of  contemporary thought concerning the body and draw out its crucial  implications for medicine. Its authors suggest that many of the  problems often found in modern medicine -- dehumanized treatment,  overspecialization, neglect of the mind's healing resources -- are  directly traceable to medicine's outmoded concepts of the body. New  and exciting alternatives are proposed by some of the foremost  physicians and philosophers working in the medical humanities today.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-08-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792316572\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-7924-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 297cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 260\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44481535770764,"sku":"9780792316572","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792316572.jpg?v=1779935187","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792316572","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
