• Sommario/riassunto: Palgrave Encyclopedia of the Health Humanities provides a critical resource for understanding and debating the interdisciplinary research and practices in the health humanities. A seminal and international volume for students, scholars, and practitioners, this volume draws on the fields that link health and social care with the arts and humanities. The entries provide particular emphasis on the history of the field and the praxis, functions, and applications of the health humanities for public, international, and global health. Also explored are aspects of healthcare not previously considered in relation to a humanities perspective such as paramedical and allied health staff and informal carers. Suitable for undergraduates and graduates and scholars in the health humanities, humanities, arts, social sciences, public health, and medicine as well as health and social care practitioners, the major focus of the volume is to highlight the role of the health humanities in enriching the social, cultural, and phenomenological experience and understanding of illness, health, and wellbeing. .
