Description

Explore the complex history of medical practices with Orthodox and Alternative Medicine: Politics, Professionalization and Health Care. Published by Sage Publications, this book examines the evolving relationship between orthodox and alternative medical systems in Britain and the United States. Mike Saks provides a deep analysis of how these two fields developed from the sixteenth century through to the present day. By looking at the period when the lines between these practices were blurred, the text explains how professionalization shaped modern health care. This work offers a unique perspective by treating orthodox and alternative medicine as two sides of the same coin, focusing on the social and political forces that define medical authority today. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of medicine and the politics of health care professionalization.
