Description

Explore how illness narratives shape cultural healing in this groundbreaking Routledge study on medical anthropology. Rather than focusing solely on individual patient recovery, this work examines how disease and death disrupt the broader relationship between individuals and society, proposing that true healing requires managing these cultural and biological disruptions. Drawing on cognitive anthropology and narrative theory, the author moves beyond relativistic approaches to establish a pragmatic realist framework for understanding healing practices. This scholarly examination bridges medical anthropology, sociology, and philosophy to offer fresh insights into how Western medicine constructs and interprets the narratives that guide treatment, recovery, and cultural meaning-making around illness and wellness.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in Health and Medical Anthropology series provides peer-reviewed scholarship on how culture shapes medical practice and healing.

Reframes narrative healing theory by shifting focus from individual illness narratives to the societal disruption caused by disease and death.

Applies cognitive anthropology to establish a pragmatic realist epistemology instead of relativistic interpretations of healing narratives.

Examines Western medicine's diagnostic narratives and their role in ritual healing processes across cultural contexts.

Combines narrative theory with medical anthropology to explore the relationship between storytelling, treatment, and patient recovery.
