Through a study of two alternative health networks, one "New Age" and the other conservative Christian, A Diagnosis for Our Times examines the health regimes followed by clients of alternative practitioners, the way people find meaning in non-Western and pre-modern health traditions, and the relationship between alternative health and other movements for change. In sharp contrast with other work on this subject, this book characterizes alternative health as a social movement and a "cultural laboratory" where people discover new values and new ways of living that may have larger implications. The authors discover surprising commonalities between the cultural left and the religious right when it comes to healthcare, and they evaluate the potential of alternative health to contribute to a new healthcare paradigm.SUNY Series in the Sociology of CultureAlternative medicineSocial medicineAlternative medicine.Social medicine.615.5Schneirov Matthew1810864Geczik Jonathan Davidd. 2001.1810865MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910965428103321A diagnosis for our times4362390UNINA01883nam 22004693 450 991098338210332120250203120918.09783031779411303177941X(CKB)37391007500041(MiAaPQ)EBC31892346(Au-PeEL)EBL31892346(OCoLC)1496393069(BIP)120129087(BIP)118517292(EXLCZ)993739100750004120250203d2025 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierOptimization and Learning 7th International Conference, OLA 2024, Dubrovnik, Croatia, May 13-15, 2024, Revised Selected Papers1st ed.Cham :Springer,2025.©2025.1 online resource (499 pages)Communications in Computer and Information Science Series ;v.23119783031779404 3031779401 This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Optimization and Learning, OLA 2024, held in Dubrovnik, Croatia, during May 13-15, 2024.
