Description: In this definitive new collection, fifty-four leading scholars come together to survey the vital work being done in the health humanities. Reflecting the extraordinary diversity of this burgeoning field, it brings together nurses and philosophers, scientists and historians, to discuss everything from mental illness to doctor-patient relationships. Including forty six original essays organized around twelve topics, Health Humanities Reader is written in an accessible style that presents serious issues with warmth and humor.

Review Quotes: "[This book] consists of nearly 50 chapters, some of which deal with classic medical humanities topics, such as the notions of health and disease and the theory of the body. The majority of the book centers on more contemporary--some would say postmodern--issues, such as gender and sexuality, disability, and aging. Recommended."-- "Choice"
