like other collections of papers related to a single topic, this
volume arose out of problem-sharing and problem-solving discussions
among some of the authors. The two principal recurring issues were
(1) the difficulties in translating anthropo logical knowledge so
that our students could use it and (2) the difficulties of bringing
existing medical anthropology literature to bear on this task. As
we talked to other anthropologists teaching in other parts of the
country and in various health-related schools, we recognized that
our problems were similar. Similarities in our solutions led the
Editors to believe that publication of our teaching experi ences
and research relevant to teaching would help others and might begin
the process of generating principles leading to a more coherent
approach. Our colleagues supported this idea and agreed to
contribute. What we agreed to write about was 'Clinically Applied
Anthropology'. Much of what we were doing and certainly much of the
relevant literature was applied anthropology. And our target group
was composed-mostly of clinicians. The utility of the term became
apparent after 1979 when another set of anthropologists began to
discuss 'ainical Anthropology'. They too recognized the range of
novel be haviors available to anthropologists in the health science
arena and chose to focus on the clinical use of anthropology. We
see this as an important endeavor, but very different from what we
are proposing."
