Alternative and Bio-Medicine in Israel : Boundaries and Bridges PDF
by Judith T. Shuval, Emma Averbuch
Part of the Israel: Society, Culture, and History series
Description
This book explores the macro and micro social contexts in which alternative and bio-medicine co-exist in Israel.
It includes a history of alternative health care in Israel and analysis of current policies and dilemmas regarding different forms of health care, and provides an in-depth analysis of medical professionals who have added alternative health care to their repertoire of professional skills in their practice settings in hospitals and community clinics.
The heterogeneity of patient populations in Israel makes it possible to explore attitudes of different cultural groups toward alternative health care.
These include Jewish immigrants from different countries as well as Bedouin and other Arab groups.
Since alternative medicine is a growing part of the overall health care system in many countries, the book provides insights gained from the Israeli experience regarding its co-existence along with conventional medicine-to a broad spectrum of health professionals, policy makers and laypersons.
