The foundations of the health sciences need to be
re-conceptualized. The mechanistic biomedical model seemingly so
successful in the past is now criticized for its failure to explain
what health is and how it can be maintained. The world's major
health problems no longer seem to be under control. "Towards a New
Science of Health" presents a radical alternative to current
biomedical thinking.
This unique and controversial book is the first to offer serious
practical ideas for the renewal of the health sciences. It provides
both a radical spirit of inquiry which draws on a broad knowledge
base and a variety of approaches, and a science which will build on
innovative research. Presenting an overview of all major paradigms
in the health sciences, their historical development, sociocultural
background and value, the book provides a framework for innovative
thinking in health. Drawing on a range of disciplinary perspectives
and focusing on a variety of approaches systems theory, human
experience, and biography, the healing process and social relations
the authors aim to bridge the gap between personal experience and
scientific knowledge.
