Abstract

"Critics of narcology--as addiction medicine is called in Russia--decry it as being "backward," hopelessly behind contemporary global medical practices in relation to addiction and substance abuse, and assume that its practitioners lack both professionalism and expertise. On the basis of his research in a range of clinical institutions managing substance abuse in St. Petersburg, Eugene Raikhel increasingly came to understand that these assumptions and critiques obscured more than they revealed. Governing Habits is an ethnography of extraordinary sensitivity and awareness that shows how therapeutic practice and expertise is expressed in the highly specific, yet rapidly transforming milieu of hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers in postSoviet Russia. Rather than interpreting narcology as a Soviet survival or a local clinical world on the wane in the face of globalizing evidence-based medicine, Raikhel examines the transformation of the medical management of alcoholism in Russia over the past twenty years"-- Publisher's Web site.

Abstract

"Health and healing have been central concerns throughout human history. Individuals and societies have devised multiple ways to health. Healing practices have often been linked to questions of knowledge, power, politics, and morals. The limits of acceptable healing have been contested by men and women, priests and doctors, elites and commoners, indigenous peoples and colonialists. Successful healers have sometimes been labeled as witches, quacks, or dangerous political agitators. The contributions in this volume concentrate on healing in global history with case studies about Finland, southern Asia and Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean and North America. They discuss medical pluralism and consider the arguments for and against individual healers and different healing systems. The authors focus on the popularity of medical systems, the appropriation and adoption of healing practices in cross-cultural contexts, and the prohibition of certain forms of healing."

Abstract

Mais um lançamento da coleção Fazer Saúde, o livro apresenta as contribuições do Curso Técnico de Agentes Comunitários Indígenas de Saúde (CTACIS) na região do Alto Rio Negro do Brasil. Com a proposta de melhorar os serviços de saúde nas comunidades indígenas, o curso foi desenhado como uma estratégia multidisciplinar por diversos atores e implementado de acordo com as realidades locais. Em seus sete capítulos, a obra analisa etapas como o trabalho e a formação dos agentes comunitários e indígenas de saúde, as concepções político-pedagógicas e a organização curricular do CTACIS, os cuidados da saúde de crianças e mulheres indígenas, vigilância alimentar e nutricional em terra indígena, além de temas transversais, como território, cultura e política. O título é resultado de um trabalho conjunto feito pelos autores Luiza Garnelo, médica-sanitarista e antropológa, Sully Sampaio, cientista social, e Ana Lúcia Pontes, médica-sanitarista e pesquisadora da Escola Nacional de Saúde Pública Sergio Arouca (Ensp/Fiocruz). Garnelo e Sampaio são, respectivamente, pesquisadora e bolsista do Instituto Leônidas & Maria Deane (ILMD/Fiocruz Amazônia), unidade técnico-científica da Fundação Oswaldo Cruz no Amazonas. Segundo a médica Myrna Cunningham Kain, pertencente ao povo miskitu, da Nicarágua, e defensora dos povos indígenas, o livro é “”uma contribuição significativa para a implementação efetiva de sistemas de saúde com enfoque intercultural e que permitam a plena realização dos direitos dos povos indígenas e de todos que habitam este continente””. A coleção Fazer Saúde pretende, com seus títulos, contribuir para a qualificação de profissionais, pesquisadores e gestores do SUS, estimulando o diálogo entre conhecimentos científicos, educação, inovações tecnológicas, saberes e práticas em saúde.

Abstract

Social scientific studies of medicine typically assume that systems of medical knowledge are uniform and consistent. But while anthropologists have long rejected the notion that cultures are discrete, bounded, and rule-drive entities, medical anthropology has been slower to develop alternative approaches to understanding cultures of health. This provocative volume considers the theoretical, methodological, and ethnographic implications of the fact that medical knowledge is frequently dynamic, incoherent, and contradictory, and that and our understanding of it is necessarily incomplete and part

Abstract

El presente libro realiza aportaciones novedosas tanto en el panorama de las ciencias sociales como en el de otras disciplinas y campos profesionales que se enfrentan con los problemas del acceso y la adecuación de la atención médica en contextos de diversidad cultural. Una de sus aportaciones es la posibilidad de diálogo entre las diversas prácticas y modelos, y su potencial replicación y adaptación a otros contextos con problemáticas análogas. Así, pues, se proponen y discuten tres modelos de intervención intercultural en salud mental, que representan a las prácticas interculturales más emblemáticas en este ámbito en Bélgica y España, a partir del análisis de tres estudios de caso correspondientes a la formulación cultural de casos psiquiátricos del Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro (Madrid), la clínica etnopsiquiátrica del Hospital Universitario Brugmann y la antipsiquiatría intercultural de las casas comunitarias peul (Bruselas).
