This study applies poststructuralist and postmodern ideas to issues
of health and health care to provide a radical re-think of how
health is to be understood. It offers a perspective in which health
is seen as an affirmation of potential rather than a narrow
biopsychosocial construct. The author develops his notion of
archehealth, providing an account of a wide range of
post-structuralist and postmodern theoretical perspectives and
their relevance to the field of health. The book is divided into
three sections; the first section explores issues of power and
control in health settings; the second loooks ta resistance to such
power and control; the final section addresses ways in which
post-sztructuralist and postmodern approaches may be used as
research methodology. In each chapter the author explains and
apllies a selection of theoretical perspectives. These include
Foucault, Derrida, Lyotard, Deleuze, Guattari, Cixous, Haraway,
Kristeva, Beck, Barthes, Tyler, Landow, Bauman, Cascardi,
Baudrillard and Atkinson.
