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 anthropologyMedicinePhilosophy.Phenomenology.Social medicine.Medical anthropology.610Aho James A.1942-1869617Aho Kevin1969-1789299MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964518603321Body matters4477819UNINA
