Drawing upon actual case studies, this book introduces readers to how everyday interactions in the clinic can foster trust and impact diagnoses and reveals how often-overlooked communication processes fundamentally shape healthcare delivery and outcomes.

The book treats communication not as a box to be checked or a skill to be mastered, but as a force that shapes provider and patient identities, a broker of relationships, and a central and pervasive presence in all systems of care. It explores topics such as end-of-life communication, physician burnout, professional hierarchies within healthcare teams, and AI in healthcare. It also integrates examples that extend beyond a U.S. framework, accounting for how different healthcare and political systems impact patient care. Each chapter is written in plain language and invites readers to think critically about what true patient-centered care looks like today.

This book is tailored to both undergraduate and graduate medical humanities, health communication, medical sociology, and bioethics courses and a broad audience of healthcare professionals-from nursing students, to attending physicians, to technicians and support staff.

Online resources include links to readings, outside resources, and video components. They are available online at www.routledge.com/9781041102779.

The chapters illustrate how older people negotiate urban change, highlighting inequalities which can limit access to the benefits of urban neighbourhoods, and demonstrate how individuals employ strategies of resistance to overcome challenges. The book makes the case for a new generation of community studies focusing on the impact of changing lifestyles at local as well as at societal levels.

Rethinking Community is a vital resource for scholars and students in the social sciences and related disciplines, including sociology, social gerontology, geography, social anthropology and urban studies. Professionals in urban planning and architecture alongside voluntary and third sector workers in social policy and social work will also benefit from its many practical insights.

Cities are designed for order, but lived through improvisation. Contemporary cities are increasingly designed for control, efficiency, and safety, yet everyday urban life continues to exceed these intentions. This book explores how temporary appropriation-the spontaneous and informal use of public space-reveals how people actively shape their environments in ways that support health, diversity, and social interaction.

Bringing together urban design, public health, and social theory, the book advances the concept of temporary appropriation as a fundamental mechanism through which urban life is produced and negotiated. Through international case studies and interdisciplinary analysis, it demonstrates how everyday practices such as play, social gathering, and informal adaptation contribute to physical, mental, and social wellbeing. Moving beyond conventional approaches to placemaking and design, the book introduces the notion of performative healthscapes, showing how health is not simply provided by infrastructure, but emerges through lived spatial practices. It also critically addresses issues of regulation, inclusion, and embodied diversity, highlighting the uneven capacity to appropriate space across different groups.

This book will be of interest to scholars and students in urban design, planning, and urban health, as well as practitioners and policymakers concerned with creating more inclusive and adaptable public spaces.

This book fills an existing gap in the history of the foundations and early developments of disability studies through analyzing the life and work of Steven J. Taylor, founder and chair of the first formal Disability Studies Program at Syracuse University, but who had already been teaching disability studies since the early 1980s "before it had a name".

Organized around the key themes of Deconstructing/Rethinking Disability; Incarceration and Deinstitutionalization; Disability Policy; and Disability Studies, each section has contributions from leading US-based and international scholars. The authors represent a range of disciplines in disability studies and related fields, reflecting on their work in the context of, and in relation to the scholarship of Steve Taylor, discussing the relevance of his work for their own scholarship as well as the field of disability research in general.

An important contribution to the field of disability studies, it grounds the vibrant and rapidly developing field of disability studies in its historical context, exploring the social and cultural environment which led to the establishment of this robust interdisciplinary field while also detailing how these early conceptualizations have set the stage for more critical theorizations of disability in sociology, education, social policy and other fields.

What is 'good' healthcare? Can we define and deliver it, or will we simply make things better for some people and worse for others?

Bringing together the fields of philosophy and healthcare, this open access book provides a much needed framework for understanding and navigating the conceptual and ethical issues at the heart of healthcare improvement.

This accessible text reveals the contribution philosophy can make to the provision of quality healthcare, combining theory and practice with a wide range of case studies, such as urban poverty screening in US primary care and UK concerns to underpin anti-racist practice.

Throughout, the authors advocate 'pragmatic pluralism', emphasizing compassion, social justice and practical wisdom alongside techniques, measures and outcomes. Across public policy, bioethics, healthcare management, social sciences and beyond, it is a must-read for students, scholars and
practitioners alike.

This book offers an ethnographic analysis of nationalist thought, centralized power, and modes of governance in (post- )pandemic Mongolian political and cultural contexts. By reframing the unity often associated with descriptive 'groupist' thought in terms of claims and objects of concern within a wider political imaginary, this book provides a new conceptual framework for understanding nationalist thought beyond the strictly ideological.

By approaching nationalism as a structure of ideas formed within a wider affective imaginary of human groupings and attachments, the book draws attention to the diversity such claims can take. Through the lens of nationalism as a narrative, the book explores how claims and objects of concern- such as the notion of a national 'people' or ethnicity- interact with processes of ideational authorship, messaging, and reception. It examines how affect is enacted as part of ideational encounters, relocating it from an ontological or subconscious force to a historically situated and authored outcome of human engagement. Drawing on rich ethnographic insights from across the Mongolian region, the book presents a novel methodology for theorizing nationalism that emphasizes objects of concern and ethnographic particularities.

Pandemic Nationalism in Inner Asia is designed for scholars, researchers, and students in anthropology, political science, sociology, and Asian studies.

Broad subject areas include ethnography, nationalism studies, affect theory, and Inner Asian studies.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Central Asian Survey.

This groundbreaking, interdisciplinary collection is one of the first scholarly books in the world to address the impacts of Covid-19 restrictions on the Global South.

Bringing together health and social scientists from around the world--including many leading figures from Global-South countries such as Angola, Bolivia, Colombia, India, Kenya, and Nigeria--the book shows how, in low- and middle-income countries in particular, Covid responses often exacerbate problems and inequalities around education, gender, socioeconomics, and politics and political economics. They negatively and disproportionately affect routine medical treatments; vaccination programmes; access to maternity and neo-natal care; child learning and socialization; women's caring responsibilities; gender-based socioeconomic differences; and rates of domestic violence, all while accelerating existing trends towards political authoritarianism and damaging democratic processes.

In offering in-depth perspectives on all these problems, this book ultimately challenges practitioners to include Southern perspectives in future emergency response-planning, and it develops both global and multidisciplinary paradigms to guide them in their efforts.

This edited work builds on contemporary empirical research concerning the central role social competence plays in wellbeing in autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Connections in Autism begins with an introduction rooted in development and explores optimal developmental processes and those of individuals with ASD.

A creative mixture of contributions from basic researchers, psychoanalytic therapists, and individuals with autism who share their subjective experience and do research in the field provide for a unique perspective. It explores the adverse subjective outcomes of these processes in individuals with ASD and expands upon the importance of social connection and includes contributions focused on psychotherapeutic interventions to build social competency and caring connections.

Clinicians, researchers, trainees, and students will benefit from this text that covers the importance of social competency in individuals with ASD with psychotherapeutic technique and research.

Digital Health Discourse offers a comprehensive overview of how health and illness are talked about, represented, and negotiated across contemporary digital platforms. Bringing together linguistic, discourse-analytical, and multimodal perspectives, it explores a wide range of digital contexts-including health query interfaces, online support groups, websites, social media, mobile health apps, and patient feedback systems-to reveal how digital technologies shape notions of health knowledge, expertise, responsibility, and care in the digital age.

The textbook foregrounds the role of platform affordances, participation, and design in structuring interaction, while attending closely to broader social forces such as medicalization, commercialization, neoliberalism, and inequality. By combining theoretical discussion with rich, detailed examples from existing research, it equips readers with the conceptual tools needed to critically analyze digital health communication and understand how everyday online interactions not only reflect but continually shape and reshape contemporary health practices.

Through detailed case studies, the book demonstrates how to conduct discourse analyses of interactions that use language and other visual resources, involving both health experts and non-professionals, including those with lived experience. Readers are invited to complete practical tasks designed to inspire their own research into the ever-expanding domains of digital health communication. Essential for researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of language and health, health communication, and discourse analysis.

Examining how Indigenous Dayak communities living within coal mining concessions in Borneo experience and respond to intertwined health and environmental challenges, this book explores how their voices, knowledge, and lived realities can be meaningfully included in the design of local health systems and environmental health initiatives.

Drawing on qualitative fieldwork, the book centres Indigenous standpoints and highlights the importance of local knowledge in shaping more responsive and equitable health design systems. It examines how Dayak communities navigate everyday conditions, negotiate environmental and institutional pressures, and articulate their own visions of health and wellbeing. Engaging both Indigenous perspectives and design approaches from the Global North through the lens of the cultural interface, the book offers a critical account of current health design and environmental systems. It introduces the concept of localised design intention as a way to foreground context, values, and community agency, and to move beyond one-size-fits-all solutions towards approaches that are culturally grounded and socially just.

This book is intended for students, academics, and practitioners in design, health, and environmental fields, as well as policymakers and researchers working with Indigenous communities or interested in inclusive, participatory, and context-sensitive design approaches.

This innovative book, written by an author with borderline experiences of her own, explores the lived experience known as "borderline personality disorder". It draws on neuroqueer approaches and feminist new materialist philosophy to highlight the potential of the unstable knowledges produced in the borderland.

Resisting either embracing the clinical definition of borderline personality disorder or rejecting the diagnosis as a misogynistic construct, this book focuses on the ontological aspects of borderline experience, exploring unstable and indeterminate thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and selves. It illuminates how paying attention to these unique ways of seeing and knowing can provide alternatives to the 'cruel optimism' of medicalised ways of knowing BPD and challenge the harmful dualistic thinking that reinforces them. Demonstrating how we might understand borderline experience as a diagnostic, philosophical, or mystical mode for knowing self and world through unique orientations in time, space, and reality, this book is an important contribution to the medical and health humanities and critical mental health. It simultaneously provides a fresh new way of thinking about the borderline and offers new critical perspectives and interventions for the wider landscapes of disability studies, medical humanities, and justice-oriented disciplines.

It will be of use to a range of disciplines and professions with an interest in mental health, including healthcare, psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology and disability studies.

This book explores one of the major developments in twentieth-century European history: the gradual emergence of welfare states aimed at providing social security, adequate health care, and equal education for citizens. It examines the evolution of welfare and the welfare state as they relate to ethnic and social minorities across Europe, spanning from the early 1900s to the post-Second World War period. Through six chapters covering Southern, Northern, Central, and Eastern Europe, expert authors reveal how the distribution of welfare often depended on divisions between majority and minority populations, as well as distinctions between citizens and non-citizens.

The authors delve into the diverse ways welfare was provided to minority groups in different European countries during the twentieth century, addressing various types of minorities and exploring the roles of different forms and providers of welfare. This nuanced analysis sheds light on the complex interplay between social policies, minority rights, and national identity, offering valuable insights into the historical and political dynamics of welfare provision.

Covering broad subject areas such as European history, social policy, minority studies, and welfare state development, this book is an essential resource for scholars, students, and professionals in sociology, political science, history, and social work. It is also highly relevant for policymakers and anyone interested in understanding the historical foundations of social welfare and its implications for minority groups.

The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of European Review of History.

Protecting children is one of the long-term functions of human communities. This book addresses the protection of children as a historical phenomenon and as part of a more general change to childhood and youth in the Nordic context, with a particular focus on Finland.

Exploring how the forms of organising the protection of children have changed from the Middle Ages (c. 1100) to the present (2020s), as well as situating these developments within wider transformations in generational relations and their governance, this book draws on legislation and law-making documents as empirical indicators of changes in generational relations and the organisation of protection across time and place. The analysis is based on a theorisation of generational relations, through which governance is understood as the structuring of the relationship between adulthood and childhood within practices of protecting children.

This book will be of interest to all scholars and students of social work, child welfare/protection, childhood studies and youth work, social policy and social welfare provision, as well as education and criminology.

What do memories, raincoats, and snakes have in common? They have all been used as metaphors for vaccines by people with vastly different views and communicative goals. This book explores how, why, and with what consequences metaphors shape vaccine communication across diverse voices, including scientists, politicians, parents, and celebrity anti-vaxxers, and contexts, from popular science books and social media to government press conferences and public health campaigns.

Drawing examples from the UK, Italy, Pakistan, Australia, and the USA, each chapter examines specific communication types, revealing how metaphors achieve varied goals. For example, the COVID-19 vaccine development has been described as "safe as a restaurant serving multiple courses simultaneously". In contrast, others have used metaphors to fuel conspiracy theories, portraying vaccines as weapons in a sinister battle against ordinary people. The book demonstrates that metaphors are central and inescapable in vaccine discourse, equally powerful for pro-vaccination explanation and reassurance as for anti-vaccination obfuscation and fearmongering. Overall, the book shows how the use of metaphor constitutes both a challenge and an opportunity for promoting vaccines as a public health intervention.

This text is the first comprehensive account of vaccine metaphors drawing from diverse sources, contexts, and countries, examining both pro- and anti-vaccination perspectives. It is written in an accessible style for anyone interested in understanding how language shapes our perceptions of vaccines and public health. This is vital reading for students and researchers of language and health communication, applied linguistics, medical humanities, discourse analysis and metaphor studies.

This collection brings together activism-informed disability research conducted both IN and FROM the region by scholars and activists representing local communities and languages.

Disability in Central and Eastern Europe is situated between ethnic and national identities and languages, socialist/communist and harshly capitalist and neoliberal orders, shifting state borders, policies and regimes, and the fact that disability studies is not yet an academically institutionalised field that manoeuvres between different disciplines. This inherent inbetweenness fuels disability studies in CEE with the diversity of the rich and diverse systems of knowledge and experience. A carefully curated selection of chapters is centred around three main themes that animate contemporary disability studies in CEE:

* local disability histories that contribute to global disability history;

* disability activism and (auto-)biographical methods in disability studies;

* the impact of artistic practices and texts, and accessibility of technology.

Bringing together a diverse group of researchers working in Bosnian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Hungarian, Latvian, Polish, Polish Sign Language, Serbian and Slovenian, it will be of interest to all scholars and students of disability studies, sociology, social policy, cultural studies and regional studies more broadly.

Combining standpoints from across medical anthropology, psychology, sociology, political science, history and media studies - including perspectives from low and middle-income countries - leading experts demonstrate how social science can help to make immunisation programmes more effective, ethical and sustainable. Employing illustrative case studies, contributors explore challenges such as vaccine hesitancy, refusal and opposition movements. Chapters further analyse the tailoring of immunisation programmes, engagement with communities, shared decision-making and the ethical dimensions of vaccine mandates. The Research Handbook concludes by considering the emerging discipline of vaccination social science and new technologies which may revolutionise how vaccines are delivered.

The Research Handbook on Immunisation and Society will be invaluable to scholars and students in public health, medicine and the social sciences. Practitioners and policymakers will also benefit from its insights into improving vaccine uptake and the impact of social influence on vaccination-related behaviours.

What if hierarchy and bureaucracy had no place in health care? What if health knowledge were truly open to all? What if health were something we could organise freely, collectively and as equals?

When we think about health, we often do so under certain constraints shaped by structures of power. Anarchism and Health invites us to imagine otherwise. It explores how our understanding of health can shift when we challenge and subvert the influence of the State, capitalism, racism, colonialism, imperialism, genderism, transphobia and other intertwined forms of domination.

Covering key debates on the organisation of health care systems as well as issues such as abortion, DIY health and mutual aid during the COVID-19 pandemic, this book deepens the connection between anarchist thought and health. It demonstrates how we should act now, in the deeply imperfect present, so we can care for one another and work towards these ideals.

Drawing on examples from across the Global North and opening pathways for further research worldwide, Anarchism and Health is an essential resource for academics, practitioners and anyone questioning how we might build a more equal and liberated form of health.

Details how the research backing the increasing number of medical products that Americans rely upon has been impacted by widespread industry influence and public policy failure.

Industry controls the agenda and conduct for the vast majority of medical research in the U.S., biasing the information available to doctors, patients, and policymakers so that they disproportionately reflect the interests of pharmaceutical and medical device companies. While it is important for a stable society that the general public trusts the institutions which guard their health, it is vital that such institutions are worthy of trust. Thus, this book examines the current state of medical knowledge to determine the question facing Americans: should we trust our medical and public health institutions?

Unreliable exposes how pharmaceutical and medical device companies have impacted the American healthcare system, making doctors and patients alike rely on untrustworthy information. This influence involves opaqueness and poor practices in clinical trials, financial ties to key medical institutions, and the regulatory capture of the FDA. This book provides concrete, specific policy solutions to empower Americans to trust public health and medical institutions.

This timely volume explores the close relationship television has always had with the National Health Service. Taking a chronological approach to examine the multiple ways in which TV has presented the NHS since the 1950s, the chapters delve into key moments in television history and how they reflect and shape our view of public health.

These chapters span the key moments in television history which deal with this subject in many forms, from the 1960s soap opera to the 1970s hospital comedy to the cosy "NHS as heritage" offered by Call the Midwife, via the melodrama of shows like Casualty and the gothic hospital dramas of Jed Mercurio. Beginning with the early dramatisations of the NHS wards, which reflected storylines that combined romance, illness, and sometimes death, the book then shows how, over the years, the depiction of NHS doctors, nurses, and other staff as heroic and romantic has been countered with dramatisations of the impact of austerity cuts, hospital mergers, and competition from the private sector.

This book will interest students and scholars of television and media studies, the history of television, the medical humanities, cultural studies, gender studies, and in the growing area of narrative medicine.

Opening with a stocktake of the institutional and organizational architecture of healthcare systems across the EU member states, the Handbook provides a thorough analysis of the Europeanisation of healthcare - its instruments, governance structures and outcomes.
