By drawing on the disciplines of literature, cultural anthropology, sociology, medical history, and philosophy, the authors attempt to dismantle common presuppositions we have about human afflictions and examine how the methods of phenomenology open up new ways to interpret the body and to re-envision therapy.MedicinePhilosophyPhenomenologySocial medicineMedical anthropologyElectronic books.MedicinePhilosophy.Phenomenology.Social medicine.Medical anthropology.610Aho James Alfred1942-949997Aho Kevin1969-949998MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454325203321Body matters2147744UNINA
