Embodiment illustrates how we are now in an age of "body plasticity"; our body boundaries are increasingly ambiguous, allowing more "degrees of freedom" and offering more opportunities than ever before to overcome physical limitations. The book draws on research from diverse areas including health and clinical psychology, neuroscience, medicine, anthropology, and sociology.

Embodiment: Clinical, Critical and Cultural Perspectives on Health and Illness (Health Psychology)

Culture and Health: A Critical Perspective Towards Global Health

Most Western health professionals practice in multicultural societies. The influence of culture on illness, health and rehabilitation is therefore very important. Despite this, most lower level health psychology texts skim over these differences and assume our traditional biomedical approach will be appropriate for all. In this completely revised and updated edition of a groundbreaking book, Malcolm MacLachlan redresses the balance by showing how social and cultural aspects interact with the purely physical: from assessment and treatment all the way through to effects on rehabilitation.

Mental Health

wiley

Physical and mental symptoms often point beyond the individuals who experience them, to the communities and cultures to which they belong. Cultural constructions of illness and health are imbued with subtle meanings, with messages, which we must learn to listen to. Exploring the fascinating interplay between culture and health, this book is concerned with helping students and clinicians think through the practical implications of working with people from different cultures. Drawing on research from psychology, sociology, anthropology and medicine, the author sets out guidelines for good practice.

The Aid Triangle: Recognizing the Human Dynamics of Dominance, Justice and Identity (Development Studies Association)

The Aid Triangle focuses on the human dynamics of international aid and illustrates how the aid system incorporates power relationships, and therefore relationships of dominance. Using the concept of a triangle of dominance, justice and identity, this timely work explains how the experience of injustice is both a challenge and a stimulus to personal, community and national identity, and how such identities underlie the human potential that international aid should seek to enrich. This insightful new critique provides for the reader an innovative and constructive framework for producing more empowering and more effective aid.
