Abstract:

This chapter reviews how medical anthropology has characterized and interpreted biomedicine as a cultural system in its own right. Because so much of the field has attended to how practitioners and patients experience their engagement in biomedicine and other systems of healing, we introduce related dimensions. Some medical anthropologists have also drawn from what is known as the Anthropology of Religion, as a way of exploring religious traditions related to healing. Their work adds useful dimensions to the topic at hand. Finally, we address applied dimensions, that include how biomedical professionals can introduce issues related to religion/spirituality in their clinical work. We advocate for a synthesis of the strengths of religious studies, medical anthropology, refined tools of spiritual inquiry that reflect the particularities of the different traditions, and a stance of cultural humility.

Abstract:

The pragmatic aspects of all steps involved in establishing an integrated psychiatry (and other mental health) care model in a HIV outpatient clinic are discussed in detail in this chapter. These include initial outreach inquiry, interdepartmental discussion, business case analysis, logistics in establishing clinical routines and operating relationships, utilization management, information technology, and research and educational opportunities specific to this model of collaborative care. The beneficial aspects of integrated care include increased engagement and retention in HIV care and decreased HIV morbidity and mortality. A biopsychosocial approach provides a model for compassionate and multidimensional care. Readers are encouraged to apply this framework within the parameters of their local institutions when establishing integrated psychiatric care models in HIV clinics.

Abstract:

Management of perioperative emergencies caused by toxins, whether consumed by a patient or iatrogenic, requires a rapid assessment of patient stability and unique inquiry into the historical and clinical context leading to the patient condition. Unlike many other crises in the perioperative period, toxin-related end-organ instability often has a specific therapeutic agent required for reversal and recovery. In this section, each perioperative crisis will be described according to the pathophysiologic derangements that a clinician will encounter in both physical exam and laboratory findings. This will be followed with recommendations concerning proper patient assess for diagnosis and the a description of recommended management steps to be undertaken.

Abstract:

This Section examines several moral dilemmas and epistemological aporias in clinical practice and shows how clinicians can benefit from the introduction of philosophical methods and discourse. The authors develop these issues having in mind emblematic mental disorders (e.g. depression, personality disorders, schizophrenia) and typical clinical situations (e.g. how to establish an effective therapeutic relationship with borderline persons, dream interpretation, cognitive-behavioural therapy). One important claim shared by the Authors is that a great effort has been made to ground psychiatry on evidence-based science, and to tie it to our growing understanding of the human brain. This is obviously an exceedingly important project, but it would be a mistake to assume that the central questions of psychiatry can be completely resolved through scientific inquiry. Science offers guidance for clinical practice only in light of our concepts and normative judgments.

Abstract:

This chapter describes how pragmatism may be used as method of ethical inquiry to help clarify and resolve issues in psychiatric practice. We set out the basic contours of both classical and contemporary pragmatism and then illustrate the pragmatic method using three examples drawn from clinical experience. We propose that given the diversity of issues in psychiatry—from questions about the ontological status of mental disorders to the particularly fraught role of therapists as humanist-scientists—pragmatism provides a kind of conceptual space for consensus building, compromise, and measurable progress.

Abstract:

Erectile dysfunction is currently considered a manifestation of vascular disease in the majority of cases. It is therefore of no surprise that erectile dysfunction is commonly found in patients with overt cardiovascular disease and/or cardiovascular risk factors. Indeed, more than 50% of patients with stable coronary artery disease or acute coronary syndromes suffer from erectile dysfunction, while the prevalence of erectile dysfunction in patients with heart failure is even higher. Likewise, erectile dysfunction is frequently encountered in patients with arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, and dyslipidaemia, as well as in smokers. The increased prevalence of erectile dysfunction in patients with heart disease mandates the active inquiry of this clinical entity in our patients.

Abstract:

This inquiry shows that breast cancer is not an object simply to be discovered. It is a family of diseases. It is an evolving notion that provides structure and significance to patient narratives and clinical reality within social contexts. In the end, philosophy teaches us a number of lessons about how to understand and treat breast cancer and how to navigate the uncertainty of breast cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Alternatively, breast cancer teaches us a number of philosophical lessons about our understanding of nature, knowledge, and what and how we value. The hope is that a fruitful dialogue between philosophy and medicine continues. This is not just an academic wish; it is a personal one for anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Abstract:

Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been crucial to the development of medical science. At present, study populations in Africa participate in an increasing number of medical research projects and clinical trials, run by both public institutions and private companies. Global debates about the politics and ethics of this research are growing and local concerns are prompting calls for social studies of the “trial communities” produced by this scientific work. Drawing on rich, ethnographic and historiographic material, this volume represents the emergent field of anthropological inquiry that links Africanist ethnography to recent concerns with science, the state, and the culture of late capitalism in Africa.

Full text

Abstract:

Health Technology Assessment (HTA) is defined as a multidisciplinary process that uses explicit methods to determine the value of a health technology at different points in its lifecycle. The purpose is to inform decision-making in order to promote an equitable, efficient, and high-quality health system. The definition reflects that facts and values are intertwined in HTA. This means that HTA should be considered as a type of policy analysis, wherein the assessment of safety, clinical and cost implications of health technologies, as well as their wider ethical, legal, social, organizational, environmental and other implications is conducted from the view that these aspects are closely interrelated, and wherein stakeholders are involved in a more productive way throughout the process of HTA. Acknowledging this holds the potential of conducting assessments of health technologies in a way that supports deliberative democratic decision making. In the 2018-2021 EU Erasmus+ strategic partnerships project “VALues In Doing Assessments ofhealthcare TEchnologies” (VALIDATE), a consortium of seven academic and HTA organizations have developed an approach to HTA that allows for the integration of empirical analysis and normative inquiry. The VALIDATE handbook: an approach on the integration of values in doing assessments of health technologies offers the reader an opportunity to get acquainted with the theoretical considerations and apprehend the associated practical and organizational implications of this approach. It offers those interested in HTA to integrate empirical analysis and normative inquiry in a transparent way.

Carlin, Nathan. Pastoral Aesthetics. Oxford University Press, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190270148.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

It is often said that bioethics as a field began in theology during the 1960s but that it became secular during subsequent decades, yielding to other disciplines and professions such as philosophy and law, because it was felt that a neutral language was needed to provide a common ground for guiding clinical practice and research protocols. This common ground was provided by Tom Beauchamp and James Childress in their The Principles of Biomedical Ethics—an approach that became known as principlist bioethics. Pastoral Aesthetics recovers a role for religion in bioethics by providing a new perspective rooted in pastoral theology. Nathan Carlin argues that pastoral theologians can enrich moral imagination in bioethics by cultivating an aesthetic sensibility that is theologically-informed, psychologically-sophisticated, therapeutically-oriented, and experientially-grounded. To achieve these ends, Carlin employs Paul Tillich’s method of correlation by positioning four principles of bioethics with four images of pastoral care. In so doing, he draws on a range of sources, including painting, fiction, memoir, poetry, journalism, cultural studies, clinical journals, classic cases in bioethics, and original pastoral care conversations. The result is a form of interdisciplinary inquiry that will be of special interest to bioethicists, theologians, and chaplains.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter begins with a review of the epidemiology of traumatic exposure (i.e., what is known about the prevalence of traumatic experience in the general population and other more specific subpopulations). It goes on to highlight the epidemiology of the specific Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (fifth edition [DSM-5]) trauma and stressor-related disorders (TSRDs) that may be diagnosed in adults: posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), acute stress disorder (ASD), and adjustment disorder. Most epidemiologic studies of TSRD have been based on pre-DSM-5 diagnostic definitions. But these studies must inform current clinical practice until new data emerges. In addition, much more attention has been devoted to the epidemiology of PTSD than to ASD—and even less has been devoted to the epidemiology of adjustment disorder or its specific subtypes. After highlighting the results of epidemiologic studies to date, the chapter concludes with a discussion of areas for further inquiry.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract: The implications of functional loss following cancer is an area of psychosocial oncology that is rarely ventured. This is especially true in the context of limb and sensory losses, which have important repercussions on the patient’s well-being, namely as the individual is required to reassess and redefine his or her identity in face of these adversities. This chapter explores the implications of these losses via the intersection of the World Health Organization’s International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health with key oncological attributes of body image disturbances that seek to render explicit psychological mechanisms underlying impairments, limitations, and restrictions. Emphasizing the use of a standard framework for the assessment of functioning is essential, especially in understudied areas. Through this perspective, further insight is provided for the methodological and biopsychosocial assessment of functioning and body, and implications for clinical inquiry and practice are proposed for the advancement of cancer survivor care.

Cutter, Mary Ann G. Thinking Through Breast Cancer. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190637033.001.0001.

Full text

Abstract:

Anyone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer or is acquainted with someone who has been diagnosed with breast cancer knows that cancer raises a host of questions concerning its nature, how we know it, and how we treat it. Such questions frame the difficult decisions that patients must make about their treatment, care, and mortality. Thinking Though Breast Cancer: A Philosophical Exploration of Diagnosis, Treatment, and Survival is a philosophical investigation of the second leading cause of cancer death among women. It is a study of how breast cancer is described, explained, evaluated, and socialized in medicine. Further, it is an investigation of the ethical implications of understanding breast cancer. These include the extent to which informed consent is secured, patient harms are minimized, patient benefits are maximized, and access to appropriate breast cancer care is made possible. The inquiry draws on clinical information as well as philosophical advice and provides suggestions about how to navigate the complex and, at times, uncertain terrain of breast cancer knowledge and care. In this way, the book is not simply an academic overview of what we know about breast cancer. It is a personal search for guidance about managing the complex, confusing, and scary terrain of breast cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Abstract:

Evaluation of the medical humanities/health humanities is contentious. Medicine, steeped in a world of accountability, seeks evidence of effectiveness or impact, where evidence is confined to the measurable. Medical humanities, an eclectic interdisciplinary field, values the experiential, more suited to descriptive, qualitative forms of investigation. Rather than prize one approach over the other, clinician educators need to be methodologically flexible. The decision about which approach to use is best determined by the question(s) they wish to answer. This chapter briefly reviews some of the tensions medical educators face when deciding how to evaluate their teaching. It outlines a number of approaches to evaluation and gives examples from the medical humanities literature. Finally, it provides some resources to direct further inquiry.

Abstract:

The internal medicine physician has a unique place in a patient’s life. Relationships might endure for years, sharing many of life’s struggles and joys. Doctors may know their patients on many levels, including whether they belong to faith traditions, religious communities, or participate in spiritual practices. Many internists feel religion and spirituality have a place in the health care setting, and there are various tools available for introducing conversations about such matters into the clinical setting. This chapter reviews the literature relevant to religion and spirituality within the context of the practice of internal medicine and proposes best practices for patient care. It suggests that physicians should respectfully inquire about their patients’ spiritual and religious beliefs, make time to address spiritual concerns as they would physical concerns, and make use of the team approach to medical care, drawing on the assistance of chaplains and lay clergy as needed.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter explores the articulations that have emerged over the last half century between various types of holism, Chinese medicine and systems biology. Given the discipline’s historical attachments to a definition of ‘medicine’ that rather narrowly refers to biomedicine as developed in Europe and the US from the eighteenth century onwards, the medical humanities are not the most obvious starting point for such an inquiry. At the same time, they do offer one advantage over neighbouring disciplines like medical history, anthropology or science and technology studies for someone like myself, a clinician as well as a historian and anthropologist: their strong commitment to the objective of facilitating better medical practice. This promise furthermore links to the wider project of critique, which, in Max Horkheimer’s definition of the term, aims at change and emancipation in order ‘to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them’. If we take the critical medical humanities as explicitly affirming this shared objective and responsibility, extending the discipline’s traditional gaze is not a burden but becomes, in fact, an obligation.
