This text features selected papers from an international conference on health, illness and disease held at Oxford U. in July 2003. Twelve contributions are organized into sections on philosophical approaches to health, illness, and disease; personal, public and institutional perspectives on representations of health, illness, and disease; the use of narrative, literature and video to reframe clinical encounters; and making sense of the art of dying. A sampling of topics: alternative models of the patient's body in modern medicine, the media representations of postpartum psychosis, learning from the illness experience via patient narrative videos, and Hodler's cycle of paintings of Valentine Godé-Darel. For researchers and health care practitioners. No subject index. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
