Rutgers University Press False Dawn: The Rise and Decline of Public Health
Book SynopsisSince its initial publication in 1989 by Garland Publishing, Karen Buhler Wilkerson’s False Dawn: The Rise and Decline of Public Health Nursing remains the definitive work on the creation, work, successes, and failures of public health nursing in the United States. False Dawn explores and answers the provocative question: why did a movement that became a significant vehicle for the delivery of comprehensive health care to individuals and families fail to reach its potential? Through carefully researched chapters, Wilkerson details what she herself called the “rise and fall” narrative of public health nursing: rising to great heights in its patients' homes in the struggle to control infectious diseases, assimilate immigrants, and tame urban areas -- only to flounder during the later growth of hospitals, significant immigration restrictions, and the emergence of chronic diseases as endemic in American society. Trade Review"Karen Buhler Wilkerson’s False Dawn has never been surpassed as the authoritative text on the history of public health nursing in the United States. This new edition, with a new introduction by two of the leading historians of nursing and with an updated bibliography, fills a critical gap in this literature." — Rima D.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Biblisch-theologische Schwerpunkte: Heilung
Book SynopsisDer Wunsch nach einer "anderen Medizin" wächst durch Hoffnungen und Enttäuschungen, die sich mit der modernen Medizin verbinden. Und so wurde das Heilen jÃ"ngst in unterschiedlichen Zusammenhängen als verloren gegangene Kunst wieder entdeckt und öffentlich thematisiert. Unkonventionelle Heilungsverfahren sind aber nicht nur eine Chance, sondern auch eine Herausforderung fÃ"r die sogenannte Schulmedizin, ebenso wie fÃ"r die Theologie, die Psychologie oder sogar die Jurisprudenz. Erstmals erschlieÃen nun namhafte Wissenschaftler das Thema Heilung multidisziplinär und rÃ"cken es in das Spannungsfeld von Energie und Geist. Biblische Wurzeln von Heilung kommen dabei ebenso zur Sprache wie medizinisches Heilen, Lebenshilfe, Heilung durch Energien oder durch Geister. Phänomene und Begriffe, die im Kontext von Heilung immer wieder in unterschiedlichen Konnotationen auftauchen, werden auf ihre medizinische, theologische, geistes- und naturwissenschaftliche Konsistenz, Trag- und Anschlussfähigkeit hin geprÃ"ft. Letztlich geht es um die fundamentale Frage, mit welchen Bedingungs- und Einflussfaktoren wir bei Heilungsprozessen rechnen können oder sogar mÃ"ssen.
