People seeking psychiatric healing choose from an almost dizzying
array of therapies--from the medicated mud packs of Ayurveda, to
the pharmacopeia of Western biomedicine, to the spiritual pathways
of the world's religions. How do we choose, what do the treatments
offer, and how do they cure? In Mudpacks and Prozac, Murphy
Halliburton investigates the very different ways in which
Ayurvedic, Western, and religious (Christian, Muslim, and Hindu)
healing systems define psychiatric problems and cures. He describes
people's embodied experiences of therapies that range from soothing
to frightening, and explores how enduring pleasure or pain affects
healing. And through evocative portraits of patients in Kerala,
India--a place of incredible cultural diversity that has become a
Mecca for alternative medicine--Halliburton shows how
sociopolitical changes around the globe may be limiting the ways in
which people seek and experience health care, with negative effects
on our quality of health and quality of life.
