A psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, Kleinman vitalizes his book with quotations from patients and members of the healing professions. This is a scholarly study but accessible to a lay audience. Writing of "suffering, healing and the human condition," the author observes the dichotomy between technological advances in medicine and the actual treatment of the ill, handicapped and dying. Profoundly moving reports illuminate the deprived lives of social outcasts, shunned and stigmatized, whose needs are not met by the medical community. There are also instructive descriptions of how an empathetic doctor can help "humans" (not cases) to regain health or, in extremis, die a "good death." Kleinman argues persuasively the need to reform today's medical-care system to more fully serve humanity.
It's highly recommended for those who engage in medical sociology, or medical anthropology. Cases in the book almost make me cry.
评分这货怎么总是喜欢把case和理论框架分的那么一清二楚……
评分也是读了其中几章节,是一位哈佛医学院医疗人类学家跟精神科医生写的关于如何从社会、文化、人与人关系的角度去理解疾病,质疑了医生把病人和疾病机械化理解的习惯。
