V&R unipress GmbH Fall - Porträt - Diagnose
Book SynopsisFall Porträt Diagnose umreißt das Unterfangen, Fallgeschichte, Medizingeschichte und die Geschichte des Porträts als Wissens- und Darstellungsformen miteinander in Beziehung zu setzen. Individuelle Fallerzählungen zur Geschichte der Schwangerschaft und der diese einkreisenden und beobachtenden Diskurse und Narrative wecken das wissenschaftshistorische Interesse, ebenso wie biografische Porträts aus der frühen, sich mit abweichenden Sexualitäten auseinandersetzenden europäischen Psychiatrie des 19. Jahrhunderts. Auch spröde wie literarisch anmutende Fall- und Porträtgeschichten von Patientinnen aus Nervenheilanstalten zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts mit ihren diversen Aufschreibe- und Aufzeichnungsverfahren, die sich verändernden Beziehungen zwischen Ärzten und PatientInnen und schließlich widersprüchliche Diagnosen und Heilverfahren bilden das Material der Analysen, die Thema dieses Heftes sind.Aus dem Inhalt: Pierre Janets Fall Madeleine um 1900 / Der Fall Louise-Adélaïde (1803) / Der Hermaphrodit Maria Derrier/Karl Dürrge in medizinischen Fallberichten des frühen 19. Jahrhunderts / Die unmögliche Heimkehr der Missionarstochter Else Terra Flex / Die literarischen Porträts der Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans / Fälle und Fallnarrative zwischen Literatur und Wissenschaften. Fall Porträt Diagnose (Case Portray Diagnosis) describes the approach to put case history, medical history and portray history in a relation to one another. Individual case narratives concerning the history of pregnancy and its discourses and narratives arouses the interest of history and sciences as well as biographical portrays of the early European psychiatric hospital of the 19th century which dealt with deviant sexualities. Even unaccommodating and literally-appealing case and portray narratives of psychiatric hospital patients in the beginning of the 20th century with their various documentation procedures, the changing relationship between doctors and patients and finally the controversial diagnosis and healing methods are being focused on in this issue.

V&R unipress GmbH Konrad Lang und die Ernährungswissenschaften in
Book SynopsisDeutsche Ernährungswissenschaftler konnten nach 1945 zumeist nahtlos an ihre Forschungen aus dem Dritten Reich anknüpfen. Auch Konrad Lang (1898--1985) startete in der frühen Bundesrepublik seine Zweitkarriere als Universitätsprofessor, Politikberater und Mitglied zahlreicher industrienaher Kommissionen und Verbände. Von der Hungerkrise in den Nachkriegsjahren über die Diskussion zur Reinheit von Lebensmitteln in einer Konsumgesellschaft bis hin zur Außendarstellung seines Fachs im beginnenden Medienzeitalter - durch sein Wechselspiel zwischen ausdrücklich wissenschaftlichen Positionen und industrieller Lobbyarbeit leistete Konrad Lang, heute außerhalb von Fachkreisen fast vergessen, einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Entwicklung der Ernährungswissenschaften in der frühen Bundesrepublik. German nutrition scientists were often able to resume their research started in the ''Third Reich'' after 1945. One example for this is Konrad Lang (1898--1985), who started his second career in the early federal republic of Germany not only as a professor of medicine and biological chemistry at the university but also a policy advisor and member of numerous industrially relevant commissions and societies. Whether the hunger crisis in the first years after WWII, the discussions about purity of food in a consumer society or the public image of his discipline in the beginning of media age: Konrad Lang provided an imporant contibution to the development of nutrition science in the early federal republic of Germany by focussing not only on scientific positions but also by doing lobby work.

V&R unipress GmbH Psychotherapie als soziale Praxis
Book SynopsisNowadays, psychotherapy is usually understood as a part of medicine. In the past, however, mental health care was not interpreted in terms of medical treatment alone. Philosophers and priests, as well as all those who assumed responsibility in their respective communities, also cared for the salvation of the soul of those entrusted to their care. Despite all the new treatment possibilities and concepts that enormously enrich todays psychotherapy, this limited understanding also leads to an impoverishment, not only in theory but also in practice. Thomas Nölle attempts to place psychotherapy in a larger context than just the medical model, expanding its understanding against its socio-cultural history and current background. According to him, it is best understood as a social practice.

NIAS Press Cambodians and Their Doctors: A Medical
Book SynopsisAt face value, this book is about medicine in Cambodia over the last hundred years. At the same time, however, by using 'medicine' (in the sense of ideas, practices and institutions relating to health and illness) as a prism through which to view colonial and post-colonial Cambodian society more generally, it offers an historical and contemporary anthropology of the nation of Cambodia. Rich in ethnographic detail derived from both contemporary anthropological fieldwork and colonial archival material, the study is an account of the simultaneous presence in Cambodia of two medical traditions: the modern, biomedical one first introduced by the French colonial power at the turn of the twentieth century, and the indigenous Khmer health cosmology. In their reliance on one or the other of the two traditions, to a large extent the Khmer people have been concerned to find efficient medical treatment that also adheres to social norms (not least the emphasis on the morality of social relations). This concern is also evident in the prevailing medical pluralism in Cambodia today. The authors trace the interaction (and lack thereof) between these two traditions from the French colonial period via the political upheavals of the 1970s through to the present day. The result is more than a medical anthropology; this is a key text that also makes a significant contribution to the anthropological study of Cambodian society at large and will be an important resource for development planners and aid workers in medical and related fields.Trade Review'This is a compelling, persuasive study of the indigenizationA" of global bio-political knowledge in Cambodia from colonial to modern times. Rigorously researched, balanced in interpretation and cautionary rather than idealistic, scholars and policymakers alike will derive much benefit from this insightful assessment of the human condition in Cambodia today. It is benchmark, interdisciplinary social science for showing us how social order and everyday survival are continually shaped and reshaped by successive models of governance.' - Laura Summers, University of HullTable of ContentsPreface vii Glossary xi 1.

Peeters Publishers Medical Utopias: Ethical Reflections About
Book SynopsisThe field of medicine is generally greeted with great enthusiasm. This can be witnessed in the immense support for medical progress, which is widely hoped to lead to a realization of idealized goals. Indeed, with the help of medicine the human body would be controllable and constructible, human nature perfectible. However, enthusiasm in favor of medical progress is first and foremost a sentiment and, like all sentiments, not necessarily a product of rational contemplation. People are capable of enthusing about the realization of utopian notions, such as life without disease or with the perfect body, without requiring any concrete arguments to back them up. Enthusiasm alone is not a guarantee of ethical desirability, however. Hence, this book takes a closer look at four research fields often referred to in medical utopian literature: 'tissue engineering', 'bioelectronics', 'germ line genome modification' and 'interventions in the biological aging process'. They serve as a basis for analyzing whether ethical arguments can be found to support the euphoric advocacy of the further development of these fields.

Peeters Publishers Un livre de pharmacopée en syriaque
Book SynopsisCe petit livre pourrait être une introduction à la pharmacopée orientale. Il comprend une cinquantaine de lignes, tirées du début d'un manuscrit syriaque entré à la BNF (Paris) il y a quelques années sous le numéro syr. 423, dont l'auteur (Ph. Gignoux) a pu faire une édition critique grâce au même texte provenant de la collection des mss Mingana, syr. no 594. La nouveauté de ce texte réside dans le fait qu'il ne semble pas être une traduction d'un ouvrage grec, alors que la suite du même manuscrit provient pour l'essentiel de Galien. Ce texte nous apporte une quantité de noms de plantes médicinales et de produits animaux et minéraux. L'originalité réside aussi dans le fait que ces noms sont souvent glosés dans des langues comme le grec, l'arabe, l'arabo-persan, dont Gignoux a expliqué l'origine dans des articles préliminaires. Le texte syriaque et la traduction française ont été mis en face à face pour permettre aux botanistes de retrouver facilement tel ou tel passage. Cela devrait aussi entraîner les chercheurs à travailler davantage sur les plantes médicinales qui ont donné lieu à une littérature très abondante et passionnante.

Urim Publications Jews in Medicine: Contributions to Health and
Book SynopsisRequiring no specialized medical or Jewish knowledge to appreciate this book, Jews in Medicine documents the fascinating history of medical contributions made by Jewish physicians throughout the ages. Profiles of more than 450 individual Jewish physicians are divided by region and area of specialization, all within a historical context—from talmudic times to the modern era, from Islamic and Christian lands to the spread of Jewish communities in Europe after the Spanish Inquisition. The large section devoted to the modern era focuses on European and American physicians, including the substantial number of Jewish Nobel Prize winners in the field. The book concludes with a description of physicians who were leaders in the Zionist movement and those who contributed to the development of medicine in the State of Israel.

NUS Press Uncertainty, Anxiety, Frugality: Dealing With
Book SynopsisThe story of leprosy in the Dutch East Indies from the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th reveals important themes in the colonial enterprise across the territory that is today’s Indonesia. Operating in a territory with only a few hundred Western-trained doctors and a population in the tens of millions, Dutch colonial officials approached leprosy with uncertainty and anxiety. In the early 19th century, the Dutch administrationsimply removed sufferers from public view: campaigns targetted anyone “looking ugly”. Towards the end of the century, colonial science considered leprosy a hereditary disease of tropical subjects, and therefore undeserving of the colonial government’s limited resources. The leprosariums were emptied. At the start of the 20th century, a growing understanding that leprosy was spread by a bacillus caused a panic that leprosy might spread from the tropics to the colonial metropole. The mixed emotions of pity, fear and revulsion associated with management of the disease intensified, and fed into broader debates on colonial policy. The experts were unsure, and resources were never forthcoming, and despite a view that “bacteria are the same everywhere”, Dutch leprosy treatment in the East Indies mobilized traditional healing practices and relied on home care. Leo van Bergen’s detailed, attentive study to changing policies for treatment and prevention of leprosy (now often called Hansen’s disease) is fascinating medical history, and provides a useful lens for understanding colonialism in Indonesia.
