Psychiatry conventionally regards spirit possession and dramatic healing rituals in non-European societies as forms of abnormality, if not mental illness. Roland Littlewood, a psychiatrist and social anthropologist, argues that this view developed as Western psychiatry obscured the political origin of its own disturbing cultural patterns. This work is an approach to psychiatric illness in its international perspective and an introduction to developments in the social anthropology of medicine. It examines critically the relevance of phenomenological, structural and ethological approaches to und

L’impact de l’infection à papillomavirus (HPV) est considérable. Plus d’une femme sur deux a été exposée aux HPV durant sa vie et 10 % environ feront une infection chronique. Parmi elles, 20 % développeront un cancer du col en l’absence de dépistage. En France, l’infection à HPV à risque provoque 27 000 lésions précancéreuses, 3 400 cancers du col utérin et le décès de 1 000 femmes tous les ans. Le dépistage par frottis réalisé à rythme régulier selon des normes de qualité a entraîné une diminution significative de l’incidence et de la mortalité ces vingt d

Pathologies of Power uses harrowing stories of life-and death-in extreme situations to interrogate our understanding of human rights. Paul Farmer, a physician and anthropologist with twenty years of experience working in Haiti, Peru, and Russia, argues that promoting the social and economic rights of the world’s poor is the most important human rights struggle of our times. With passionate eyewitness accounts from the prisons of Russia and the beleaguered villages of Haiti and Chiapas, this book links the lived experiences of individual victims to a broader analysis of structural violenc
