Culture and Health: Applying Medical Anthropology

Culture and Health offers an overview of different areas of culture and health, building on foundations of medical anthropology and health behavior theory. It shows how to address the challenges of cross-cultural medicine through interdisciplinary cultural-ecological models and personal and institutional developmental approaches to cross-cultural adaptation and competency. The book addresses the perspectives of clinically applied anthropology, trans-cultural psychiatry and the medical ecology, critical medical anthropology and symbolic paradigms as frameworks for enhanced comprehension of health and the medical encounter. Includes cultural case studies, applied vignettes, and self-assessments.

เหมาะสำหรับคนที่กำลังทำความเข้าใจแนวทางการศึกษามานุษยวิทยาการแพทย์ มี case study เป็นตัวอย่างให้เห็นชัดเจน หลากหลายมุมมองและกรอบความคิด ทำให้ขอบเขตการศึกษาขยายกว้างขึ้นไปอีก
