TAILIEUCHUNG - Illness and Healing Alternatives in Western Europe

In their conceptions and explanations of illness and in their reactions to it, individuals and groups attempt, and expect, to be coherent. They try to present a view which makes sense to themselves and which is also clear to others who may find it difficult to understand why healers, patients and other interested parties follow a particular line of reasoning. When these arguments are seen by contemporaries to be well founded, this can often be taken as a sign of conformity to an acceptable form of reasoning which fits into a particular ‘cultural repertoire’. Individuals have a degree of liberty in the way they construct their arguments and select. | Illness and Healing Alternatives in Western Europe Edited by Marijke Gijswijt-Hofstra Hilary Marland and Hans de Waardt Also available as a printed book see title verso for ISBN details Illness and Healing Alternatives in Western Europe Despite the recent upsurge in interest in alternative medicine and unorthodox healers Illness and Healing Alternatives in Western Europe is the first book to focus closely on the relationship between belief culture and healing in the past. In essays on France the Netherlands Germany Spain and England from the sixteenth century to the present day the authors draw on a broad range of material from studies of demonologists and reports of asylum doctors to church archives and oral evidence. These studies offer a fundamental and exciting rereading of the history of healing challenging Weber s concept of the disenchantment of the world . Although the attribution of illness to witchcraft and demons has clearly been losing ground ever since the seventeenth century there has by no means been a complete disappearance of these beliefs. Engaging rigorously with the relationship between medical science popular beliefs and healing with the concept of a medical market place and with alternative medicine right up to the present day Illness and Healing Alternatives in Western Europe will make an invaluable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of medical social and cultural history. Marijke Gijswijt-Hofstra is Professor of Social and Cultural History at the University of Amsterdam. She has published widely on the history of witchcraft and alternative healing. Hilary Marland is Wellcome University Award Holder at the Centre for Social History Warwick University and is an editor of Social History of Medicine. Among her many publications are works on the history of midwifery.
