The New Public Health
Petersen and Lupton focus critically on the new public health, assessing its implications for the concepts of self, embodiment and citizenship. They argue that the new public health is used as a source of moral regulation and for distinguishing between self and other. They also explore the implications of modernist belief in the power of science and the ability of experts to solve problems through rational administrative means that underpin the strategies and rhetoric of the new public health.
Global Pharmaceuticals
In some parts of the world spending on pharmaceuticals is astronomical. In others people do not have access to basic or life-saving drugs. Individuals struggle to afford medications; whole populations are neglected, considered too poor to constitute profitable markets for the development and distribution of necessary drugs. The ethnographies brought together in this timely collection analyze both the dynamics of the burgeoning international pharmaceutical trade and the global inequalities that emerge from and are reinforced by market-driven medicine.

Santé mentale : guérison et rétablissement
Peut-on parler de guérison dans le champ de la santé mentale ou devrait-on parler de rétablissement ? L’approche de rétablissement redéfinit la notion même de guérison, tout en repositionnant le patient comme le principal acteur de sa vie et de son processus de soin. Cet ouvrage est nécessaire pour mieux comprendre les mécanismes subtils de la guérison et du rétablissement afin d’aider nos institutions de santé à prendre ce virage essentiel, tant dans le contexte de la santé mentale que celui de la santé physique. Leurs politiques sont trop axées sur l’acte curatif, la gestion du soin au sens strict plutôt que de la personne. Quelles significations attribuer à ces con...
