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

"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

Simone Grand de´crit les soins traditionnels et la place qu'ils occupent au sein du triangle polyne´sien. En confrontant l'approche des tradipraticiens, base´e sur des pratiques et me´thodes ancestrales, a` la me´decine conventionnelle occidentale, elle livre des cle´s de compre´hension sur un sujet dont l'inte´re^t ne cesse de grandir. L'auteure adopte une approche anthropologique me´dicale pour mettre en lumie`re la complexite´ de la maladie, ma' i en Polyne´sie, et permettre une appre´hention plus approfondie sur la me´thode et la relation de soin. Elle part a` la recherche de te´moignages aupre`s de soignants traditionnels connus a` Tahiti (tahu'a), en Nouvelle-Ze´lande (tohunga) et a` Hawai¨ (kahuna). En re´sulte une enque^te a` mi-chemin entre l'anthropologie me´dicale et l'ethnopsychiatrie.
