Ethics and Professionalism in Healthcare
Recent social developments, such as demographic change, skill shortages and new medical technologies, have necessitated a transition in the traditional roles of health-care professions.

This book addresses historical, conceptual and empirical aspects of professionalism and inter-professionalism in health care from an international and interdisciplinary perspective. The work is divided into five sections: historical and societal aspects of health care professions; learning and teaching medical pr...
The Oxford Handbook of Mental Health and Contemporary Western Aesthetics
Human flourishing depends upon the mental health of the individuals. Throughout history, various cultural traditions have established and practiced diverse strategies to maintain their community members' mental health, treat their mental illness, and enhance their well-being. They range from spiritual disciplines, religious rituals, and philosophical training, to communal activities, educational instructions, and community support.

The Routledge Companion to Performance and Medicine
The Routledge Companion to Performance and Medicine addresses the proliferation of practices that bridge performance and medicine in the contemporary moment. The scope of this book's broad range of chapters includes medicine and illness as the subject of drama and plays; the performativity of illness and the medical encounter; the roles and choreographies of the clinic; the use of theatrical techniques, such as simulation and role-play, in medical training; and modes of performance engaged in public health campaigns, health education projects and health-related activism. The book encompasses some of these diverse practices and discourses that emerge at the interface between medicine and performance, with a particular emphasis on practices of performance. This collection is a vital reference resource for scholars of contemporary performance; medical humanities; and the variety of interdisciplinary fields and debates around performance, medicine, health and their overlapping collaborations.

Masculinities Ageing between Cultures
Global mobility is one of the crucial phenomena of our time. Combining the theoretical frameworks of masculinity studies and age studies, the contributors to this volume examine the intersection of cultural exchange, gender and age, exploring ageing masculinities with reference to the key concepts of relationality, kinship and care. The essays analyze transcultural experiences of ageing men from Europe, relationships including the Indian diaspora in the US, Chinese father images in the US-American context and Black British queer kinship, drawing its examples also from Brazilian society and African European contexts.
Ageing Masculinities, Alzheimer's and Dementia Narratives

The Health Humanities in German Studies
The first full-length study to bring together the fields of Health Humanities and German studies, this book features contributions from a range of key scholars and provides an overview of the latest work being done at the intersection of these two disciplines. In addition to surveying the current critical terrain in unparalleled depth, it also explores future directions that these fields may take. Organized around seven sections representing key areas of focus for both disciplines, this book provides important new insights into the intersections between Health Humanities, German Studies, and other fields of inquiry that have been gaining prominence over the past decade in academic and public discourse. In their contributions, the authors engage with disability studies, critical race studies, gender/embodiment studies, trauma studies, as well as animal/environmental studies.
Reform, Revolution and Crisis in Europe
Today Europe stands at a crossroads unlike any it has faced since 1945. Since the 2008 financial crash, Europe has weathered the Greek debt crisis, the 2015 refugee crisis, and the identity crisis brought about by Brexit in 2016. The future of the European project is in doubt. How will Europe respond? Reform and revolution have been two forms of response to crisis that have shaped Europe’s history. To understand Europe’s present, we must understand that past. This interdisciplinary book considers, through the prism of several landmark moments, how the dynamics of reformation and revolution, and the crises they either addressed or created, have shaped European history, memory, and thought.
Jahrbuch Literatur und Medizin
Der achte Band des ‚Jahrbuchs Literatur und Medizin‘ vereint Originalarbeiten, Essays und Rezensionen. Drei der acht Originalbeiträge gehen auf Vorträge zurück, welche in einer von Pascal Fischer und Florian Steger organisierten Sektion ‚Medical Humanities‘ im Rahmen der von der VolkswagenStiftung unterstützten Tagung ‚Philologie und Gesellschaft‘ in Hannover im September 2015 gehalten wurden. Die weiteren Originalbeiträge in deutscher und englischer Sprache reichen thematisch von August Kotzebues satirischer Bearbeitung medizinischer Modethemen über die medizinischen Topographien in den Stücken des Ärzteliteraten Arthur Schnitzler sowie über verschiedene Formen literarischer Repräsentation der Multiplen Sklerose und die Sterbehilfe im populären Diskurs des Films bis hin zur Theorie und Praxis der Narrativen Medizin in den U.S.A. und Deutschland. In den beiden Essays wird zum einen über das Sterben reflektiert, zum anderen wird für mehr Literatur in der Medizin im Sinne einer verstehenden Medizin plädiert. Zahlreiche Rezensionen runden den Band ab.
Pandemic Storytelling
This volume offers unique, interdisciplinary perspectives by evaluating, analyzing, and interpreting how the past, the present, and potential futures may be affected by pandemic storytelling. The chapters analyze the interplay between various disciplines that explore COVID-19 narratives and study the influence of pandemics on storytelling. The authors invite you to delve into the intricate social, cultural, and political dynamics between anthropocentric societies, human nature, and their implications for an understanding of our interactions with others and environments. Most importantly, this volume initiates insightful conversations, highlighting that in times of crisis the most valuable thing we can hold on to is human connection.
Narrative Medizin
Im medizinischen Alltag können Kompetenzen wie kritische (Selbst-)Reflexion, professionelles Empathievermögen, differenzierte Auffassungsgabe, ausgeprägte Ambiguitäts- und Unsicherheitstoleranz sowie ein kreatives out-of-the-box-Denken entscheidende Auswirkungen haben. Doch die Förderung dieser Kompetenzen kommt in der medizinischen Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung oft zu kurz – nicht zuletzt deshalb, weil sie eine besondere methodische und didaktische Herausforderung darstellt. Dieser Band versammelt entsprechende Lösungsvorschläge aus der Praxis, die sich an den Konzepten der Narrativen Medizin nach Rita Charon orientieren, und richtet sich damit an Leser*innen, die sich für andere Zugänge in der medizinischen Aus-, Fort- und Weiterbildung interessieren. Der Fokus liegt auf dem praktischen Einsatz von literarischen und künstlerischen Werken sowie Methoden der Bild-, Film- oder Textanalyse, individuelles Schreiben, gemeinsames Diskutieren und Reflektieren.
