In this book, practicing physicians and experts in anticipation
present arguments for a new understanding of medicine. Their
contributions make it clear that medicine is the decisive test for
anticipation. The reader is presented with a provocative
hypothesis: If medicine will align itself with the anticipatory
condition of life, it can prompt the most important revolution in
our time. To this end, all stakeholders-medical practitioners,
patients, scientists, and technology developers-will have to engage
in the conversation. The book makes the case for the transition
from expensive, and only marginally effective, reactive treatment
through "spare parts" (joint replacements, organ transplants) and
reliance on pharmaceuticals (antibiotics, opiates) to
anticipation-informed healthcare. Readers will understand why the
current premise of treating various behavioral conditions
(attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, schizophrenia) through
drugs has to be re-evaluated from the perspective of anticipation.
In the manner practiced today, medicine generates dependence and
long-lasting damage to those it is paid to help. As we better
understand the nature of the living, the proactive view of
healthcare, within which the science and art of healing fuse,
becomes a social and political mandate.
