Description

Passage Through Crisis examines fourteen families whose children contracted paralytic poliomyelitis, offering groundbreaking insights into the human experience of disability and medical care. First published in 1963, this seminal work by Routledge was praised for its innovative analysis of doctor-patient communications and the cultural meaning of physical disability in American society. Davis's new opening essay reflects on the enduring challenges in human relations within healthcare and explores how shifts in American medical culture have reshaped the doctor-patient relationship. This book remains essential reading for understanding disability history, medical sociology, and the social dimensions of illness.
