This book explores rhetorical ethos and its ongoing role in
patients' credibility and in misdiagnoses stemming from gender,
race and class-based biases. Drawing on the concept of ethos as a
theoretical framework, it explores health and mental illness across
different conditions and across different methodological
approaches. Extending work on ethos in clinical encounters and
public discourse about biomedicine and presenting new research on
the rhetoric of mental health, stigma and mental illness, the book
explores how bias in clinical settings can lead to symptoms
labelled "in the patient's head" masking treatable medical
problems. This notable contribution to the rhetoric of health and
medicine will be of interest to all researchers and graduate
students of rhetoric and composition studies, rhetoric of health
and medicine, disability studies, medical humanities,
communication, and psychology.
