This authoritative new handbook offers a comprehensive and
cutting-edge overview of the state of the medical humanities
globally, showing how clinically oriented medical humanities, the
critical study of medicine as a global historical and cultural
phenomenon, and medicine as a force for cultural change can inform
each other. Composed of eight parts, the Routledge Handbook of the
Medical Humanities looks at the medical humanities as: a network
and system therapeutic provocation forms of resistance a way of
reconceptualising the medical curriculum concerned with performance
and narrative mediated by artists as diagnosticians of culture
through public engagement. This book describes how the medical
humanities can be used in and out of clinical settings, acting as a
point of resistance, redistributing medicine's capital amongst its
stakeholders, embracing the complexity of medical instances,
shaping medical education, promoting interdisciplinary
understandings and recognising an identity for the medical
humanities as a network effect. This book is an essential read for
all students, scholars and practitioners with an interest in the
medical humanities.
