TAILIEUCHUNG - The Mainstreaming of Complementary and Alternative Medicine

Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM)1 is now a major part of the healthcare system in all advanced It is also a common part of discourse in medicine and healthcare. This growth of interest has only partially been matched by academic study of it. Indeed, over recent years there has been an increasing recognition that CAM is essentially under-researched (House of Lords 2000). However, with this recognition has come an increasing concentration on a particular form of research—that geared towards the production of an evidence base and/or an immediate relevance to policy and practice | The Mainstreaming of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Studies in Social Context Edited by Philip Tovey Gary Easthope and Jon Adams Foreword by Bryan s. Turner Also available as a printed book see title verso for ISBN details The Mainstreaming of Complementary and Alternative Medicine Complementary and alternative medicine CAM is a major component of healthcare in most late modern societies. While there is increasing recognition of the need for more research in this area it is frequently argued that such research should be directed towards establishing evidence that will provide answers to policy questions. However complementary medicine is also a topic worthy of study in its own right a historically contingent social product and it is this sociological agenda that underpins The Mainstreaming of Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Contributors to the book come from the UK USA Canada Australia and New Zealand. They draw on their own research to explore issues such as who uses CAM and why the rhetoric of individual responsibility the role of consumers as activists the significance of evidence-based medicine and contested boundaries in the workplace. The book also discusses specific processes relating to CAM practitioners GPs and nurses. Stepping back from the immediate demands of policy-making The Mainstreaming oj Complementary and Alternative Medicine allows a complex and informative picture to emerge of the different social forces at play in the integration of CAM with orthodox medicine. Complementing books that focus solely on practice it will be relevant reading for all students following health sociology health studies or healthcare courses for medical students and medical and healthcare professionals as well as academic CAM specialists.
