Over the past forty years, the health humanities, previously called
the medical humanities, has emerged as one of the most exciting
fields for interdisciplinary scholarship, advancing humanistic
inquiry into bioethics, human rights, health care, and the uses of
technology. It has also helped inspire medical practitioners to
engage in deeper reflection about the human elements of their
practice.
In "Health Humanities Reader," editors Tess Jones, Delese Wear, and
Lester D. Friedman have assembled fifty-four leading scholars,
educators, artists, and clinicians to survey the rich body of work
that has already emerged from the field--and to imagine fresh
approaches to the health humanities in these original essays. The
collection's contributors reflect the extraordinary diversity of
the field, including scholars from the disciplines of disability
studies, history, literature, nursing, religion, narrative
medicine, philosophy, bioethics, medicine, and the social sciences.
With warmth and humor, critical acumen and ethical insight, "Health
Humanities Reader" truly humanizes the field of medicine. Its
accessible language and broad scope offers something for everyone
from the experienced medical professional to a reader interested in
health and illness.
