Introduces key concepts and debates in health humanities and the
health professions. Keywords for Health Humanities provides a rich,
interdisciplinary vocabulary for the burgeoning field of health
humanities and, more broadly, for the study of medicine and health.
Sixty-five entries by leading international scholars examine
current practices, ideas, histories, and debates around health and
illness, revealing the social, cultural, and political factors that
structure health conditions and shape health outcomes. Presenting
possibilities for health justice and social change, this volume
exposes readers—from curious beginners to cultural analysts, from
medical students to health care practitioners of all fields—to
lively debates about the complexities of health and illness and
their ethical and political implications. A study of the vocabulary
that comprises and shapes a broad understanding of health and the
practices of healthcare, Keywords for Health Humanities guides
readers toward ways to communicate accurately and effectively while
engaging in creative analytical thinking about health and
healthcare in an increasingly complex world—one in which
seemingly straightforward beliefs and decisions about individual
and communal health represent increasingly contested terrain.
