Taylor & Francis Ltd Therapeutic Pluralism
Book SynopsisThe profile of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has risen dramatically over the last decade and cancer patients represent its most prolific users. As a result, the NHS and UK cancer services are attempting to develop a wider range of therapeutic options for patients. Despite such developments, little is known about why cancer patients use CAM, its perceived benefits and the perspectives of the doctors and nurses involved. Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the UK, Therapeutic Pluralism includes over 120 interviews with cancer patients and professionals, plus innovative diary' data which, for the first time, detail the experiences of CAM users. It gives a systematic analysis of issues such as: The development of patient preferences and influences on decision making Expectations of CAM and interpretations of success' in cancer treatment The nature and importance of evidence' and effectiveness' for paTable of ContentsList of Illustrations Acknowledgements List of Abbreviations Introduction Chapter 1: The dialectical tension between individuation and depersonalisation in cancer patients’ mediation of therapeutic options Chapter 2: The role of the Internet in cancer patients’ engagement with therapeutic options Chapter 3: Integrating CAM: A comparative analysis of hospice versus hospital medicine Chapter 4: Oncologists’ and specialist cancer nurses’ approaches to CAM and their impact on patient action Chapter 5: Exploring the temporal dimension in cancer patients’ experiences of non-biomedical therapeutics Chapter 6: The problematic nature of conflating use and advocacy in CAM integration Conclusion Bibliography Index
