Stress and Emotional Health: Applications of Clinical Anthropology
by John A. Rush. 219 pgs.

Book

Read/Write Review

Read Synopsis [+]

Hide Synopsis [-]

Western medicine, including psychiatry and psychology, has had a virtual monopoly of the health industry. This has led to economic incentives that literally keep people sick. Anthropologists, because of their holistic and comparative base, are in a unique position to apply their knowledge within clinical settings. Written for anthropologists, but useful to all clinicians, Rush's book offers a new model for understanding health and illness, provides a review of techniques found in many cultures for reducing individual and system stress, and offers processes for recovering health and individual and social balance.
