No somos nada sin el otro/a. Esta es la mejor expresión del valor fundamental del cuidado. El cuidado que sostiene la vida. El cuidado que durante esta dolorosa pandemia ha sido la base fundamental para proteger la vida en todas sus expresiones. El cuidado que por siglos ha sido invisibilizado y desplegado especialmente por millones de mujeres en el mundo. Quien cuida y a quienes se cuida ha puesto en evidencia la división tajante sobre los cuidados. Como lo señala Judith Butler, todas y todos nacemos dependientes. En eso estamos en condición de igualdad. Pero es en la división sexual del trabajo y en la valoración que las sociedades hacen del cuidado donde empiezan las diferencias y las profundas desigualdades. Este libro nos ofrece un bien común intelectual, al documentar de forma cooperativa la organización social del cuidado de niñas, niños y adolescentes en Bogotá, Cartagena, Medellín, Cali y Bucaramanga, y nos propone como proyecto de sociedad “un movimiento significativo que ponga en el centro la vida y el cuidado como acciones para construirla, promoverla y conservarla”.

From one of America's most celebrated psychiatrists, the book that has taught generations of healers why healing the sick is about more than just diagnosing their illness. Modern medicine treats sick patients like broken machines -- figure out what is physically wrong, fix it, and send the patient on their way. But humans are not machines. When we are ill, we experience our illness: we become scared, distressed, tired, weary. Our illnesses are not just biological conditions, but human ones. It was Arthur Kleinman, a Harvard psychiatrist and anthropologist, who saw this truth when most of his fellow doctors did not. Based on decades of clinical experience studying and treating chronic illness, The Illness Narratives makes a case for interpreting the illness experience of patients as a core feature of doctoring. Before Being Mortal, there was The Illness Narratives. It remains today a prescient and passionate case for bridging the gap between patient and practitioner.
Inventing Our Selves radically approaches the regime of the self and the values that animate it.

Now in its third edition, Human Rights and Social Work explores how the principles of human rights inform contemporary social work practice. Jim Ife considers the implications of social work's traditional Enlightenment heritage and the possibilities of 'post-Enlightenment' practice in a way that is accessible, direct and engaging. The world has changed significantly since the publication of the first edition in 2000 and this book is situated firmly within the context of present-day debates, concerns and crises. Ife covers the importance of relating human rights to the non-human world, as well as the consequences of political and ecological uncertainty. Featuring examples, further readings and a glossary, readers are able to identify and investigate the important issues and questions arising from human rights and social work. Now more than ever, Human Rights and Social Work is an indispensable resource for students, scholars and practitioners alike.
