This salient reference grounds readers in the theoretical basis and
day-to-day practice of community-based health care programs, and
their potential as a transformative force in public health.
Centering around concepts of self-determination, empowerment, and
inclusiveness, the book details the roles of physicians, research,
and residents in the transition to self-directed initiatives and
greater community control. Community-focused interventions and
methods, starting with genuine dialogue between practitioners and
residents, are discussed as keys to understanding local voice and
worldview, and recognizing residents as active participants and not
simply targets of service delivery. And coverage pays careful
attention to training issues, including how clinicians can become
involved in community-based care without neglecting individual
patient needs. Among the topics covered are: Narrative medicine in
the context of community-based practice. Qualitative and
participatory action research. Health committees as a
community-based strategy. Dialogue, world entry, and
community-based intervention. Politics of knowledge in
community-based work. Training physicians with communities.
Dimensions of Community-Based Projects in Health Care challenges
sociologists, social workers, and public health administrators to
look beyond traditional biomedical concepts of care and
naturalistic methods of research, and toward more democratic
programs, planning, and policy. The partnerships described in these
pages reflect a deep commitment to patients' lives, and to the
future of public health.p>
