The Healing Bond Explores The Nature Of The Relationship Between Healer And Patient In A Variety Of Settings, With The Emphasis On The Issue Of Therapeutic Responsibility. The Contributors - Health Care Professionals And Social Scientists - Investigate How Responsibility Is Distributed Between Healer And Patient. Can It Be Shared Among More Than One Practitioner? What Is The Role Of Professional Organizations In Defining And Safeguarding The Relationship? Is The Bond Between The Healer And Practitioner A Dynamic Aspect Of The Healing Process Itself? If The Bond Changes Over Time, What Wider Social Forces Influence It? These Questions Are Investigated From A Variety Of Professional And Academic Perspectives, Covering Both 'orthodox' And 'non-orthodox' Forms Of Healing Practice. The Contributors Look At Health Care As A Whole And Deal With Specific Areas Of Health Such As Midwifery, Psychoanalysis, Naturopathy, The Relations Between Medicine And The State, And The Appeal Of 'quacks'.

<p>By considering the nature of the relationship between patient and healer, <b></b><b><i>The Healing Bond</i></b> explores the responsibilities of both, with a special emphasis on the therapeutic responsibility. The editors and contributors examine both orthodox and unorthodox forms of healing practice and apply a variety of professional and analytic perspectives to the medical profession as a whole. They look at specific areas of health such as midwifery, psychoanalysis, naturopathy, the relations between medicine and state, and the appeal of "quacks." Particular issues of current concern are also discussed, including medical litigation, codes of ethics among complementary practitioners and cooperation between orthodox and complementary medicine practitioners.<p>Contributors&#58; Mary Douglas, Calliope Farsides, David Peters, Roy Porter, Richenda Power, Margaret Stacey, Robert Sumerling, and Gillian Vanhegan.</p>

The growing popularity of alternative therapies poses challenging questions for the medical establishment and the state. By confronting these questions, The Healing Bond makes an important contribution to current debates about health care. The contributors, who are all experts in the fields of health care, social science and the law, focus on the relationship between patient and healer in both orthodox and non-orthodox forms of healing practice. They consider whether different forms of healing involve widely differing conceptions of the role and responsibilities of the healer, and deal with topical issues such as medical litigation, codes of ethics for complementary practitioners, and co-operation between orthodox and complementary medicine.

This book combines the expertise of practitioners and researchers to address the wide range of debates currently taking place in relation to the politics of the practitioner-client relationship
