A significant update of the 1990 classic state-of-the-art handbook on medical anthropology. With new chapters on AIDS, psychology and emotion, nutrition, and bioethics, the text reflects the changes in medical anthropological theory and practice since the late 1980s. Chapters from the first edition are revised to reflect current trends and to include recent references. This work demonstrates the creative expansion and diversity in the field, amidst efforts to explore the individual sickness experience in the context of local cultures and global political and economic dynamics.
CAROLYN F. SARGENT is Professor of Anthropology at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.
THOMAS M. JOHNSON is Professor of Family Medicine at the University of Alabama Medical School.
