Alternative medicine is not a fashionable new trend
but an established cultural strategy, as well as a dynamic
feature of mainstream contemporary medicine, in
which elements of folk traditions are often blended
with Western scientific approaches.
The Anthropology of Alternative Medicine is a concise
yet wide-ranging exploration of non-biomedical
healing. The book addresses a broad range of practices
including: substance, energy and information flows
(such as helminthic therapy); spirit, consciousness and
trance (shamanism, for example); body, movement and
the senses (reiki and aromatherapy); as well as classical
medical traditions as complements or alternatives to
Western biomedicine (such as Ayurveda).
Exploring the cultural underpinnings of contemporary
healing methods, while assessing current ideas, topics
and resources for further study, this book will be
invaluable to undergraduate and graduate students in
anthropology, sociology, psychology, and health-related
professions such as nursing, physical and occupational
therapy, and biomedicine.
