Rebirth of the Clinic: Places and Agents in Contemporary Health Care


Add your own review!

Overview

From physical location to payment processes to expectations of both patients and caregivers, nearly everything surrounding the contemporary medical clinic's central activity has changed since Michel Foucault's Birth of the Clinic. Indebted to that work, but recognizing the gap between what the modern clinic hoped to be and what it has become, Rebirth of the Clinic explores medical practices that shed light on the fraught relationship between medical systems, practitioners, and patients.

Reviews

Rebirth of the Clinic contributes significantly and meaningfully to critical, interdisciplinary research on the clinic, on interactions between medical professionals and patients, and on the complex processes of translation through which policies are put into practice and vice versa. --Samantha King, Queens University
