| alternatives a health collective: The Magnificence Of The Mahabharata Sitansu Ghosh, 2024-01-02 The Mahabharata, the youngest of the epics of growth, surpasses its predecessors in its huge mass and poses problems to the readers to be as enigmatic as riddles, e.g. the birth of human babies in the womb of a fish, the birth of a hundred and one Kuru children out of a hard lump of flesh and that of Drupada's son and daughter in the flaming fire of sacrifice. In The Magnificence of the Mahabharata the text has been interpreted in a way hitherto unknown to critics and scholars. The readers may experience the same by going through the book. |
| alternatives a health collective: Looking through the Speculum Judith A. Houck, 2024-01-19 Highlights local history to tell a national story about the evolution of the women’s health movement, illuminating the struggles and successes of bringing feminist dreams into clinical spaces. The women’s health movement in the United States, beginning in 1969 and taking hold in the 1970s, was a broad-based movement seeking to increase women’s bodily knowledge, reproductive control, and well-being. It was a political movement that insisted that bodily autonomy provided the key to women’s liberation. It was also an institution-building movement that sought to transform women’s relationships with medicine; it was dedicated to increasing women’s access to affordable health care without the barriers of homophobia, racism, and sexism. But the movement did not only focus on women’s bodies. It also encouraged activists to reimagine their relationships with one another, to develop their relationships in the name of personal and political change, and, eventually, to discover and confront the limitations of the bonds of womanhood. This book examines historically the emergence, development, travails, and triumphs of the women’s health movement in the United States. By bringing medical history and the history of women’s bodies into our emerging understandings of second-wave feminism, the author sheds light on the understudied efforts to shape health care and reproductive control beyond the hospital and the doctor’s office—in the home, the women’s center, the church basement, the bookshop, and the clinic. Lesbians, straight women, and women of color all play crucial roles in this history. At its center are the politics, institutions, and relationships created by and within the women’s health movement, depicted primarily from the perspective of the activists who shaped its priorities, fought its battles, and grappled with its shortcomings. |
| alternatives a health collective: The Politics of Healing Robert D. Johnston, 2004-06-01 From grocery store to doctor's office, alternative medicine is everywhere. A recent survey found that more than two in five Americans uses some form of alternative medicine. The Politics of Healing brings together top scholars in the fields of American history, history of medicine, anthropology, sociology, and politics to counter the view that alternative medical therapies fell into disrepute in the decades after physicians established their institutional authority during the Progressive Era. From homeopathy to Navajo healing, this volume explores a variety of alternative therapies and political movements that have set the terms of debate over North American healing methods. |
| alternatives a health collective: Women's Health Judith A. Lewis, Judith Bernstein, 1996 This book provides an integrated, multidisciplinary approach to women’s health. Historical, sociocultural, psychological and biophysiological aspects of women’s development are woven together to provide a complete women-centered perspective of health. While several excellent books in print provide information on diagnosis and treatment of women and address women’s growth and development, Lewis and Bernstein strive to fill a void by marrying these perspectives. The book also offers a thorough investigation into the life cycle of women, And The roles of women as individuals and members of their communities and cultures. |
| alternatives a health collective: Choose Your Medicine Lewis A. Grossman, 2021 Throughout American history, lawmakers have limited the range of treatments available to patients, often with the backing of the medical establishment. The country's history is also, however, brimming with social movements that have condemned such restrictions as violations of fundamental American liberties. This fierce conflict is one of the defining features of the social history of medicine in the United States. In Choose Your Medicine, Lewis A. Grossman presents a compelling look at how persistent but evolving notions of a right to therapeutic choice have affected American health policy, law, and regulation from the Revolution through the Trump Era.-- |

And this collection of twenty-seven articles on the major women's issues of the decade shows why feminists have only begun to fight. Women are still paid less than their male counterparts, rape and wife battering remain brutal social problems and inadequate day care still threatens women's right to work. These and many other injustices that undermine more than fifty percent of Canada's population are thoughtfully explored in this timely and provocative book.Talented writers from across the country review the dynamic changes in the women's movement over the last ten years. Controversial issues like abortion, pornography, sexuality and women and work are examined. Non-traditional jobs for women, rape and day care are only a few of the many concerns brought into focus. Still Ain't Satisfied provides a stimulating look at some of the most important issues of our time, issues which have touched the lives of all individuals in this country. -- |

| alternatives a health collective: Reproductive Justice Barbara Gurr, 2014-12-09 In Reproductive Justice, sociologist Barbara Gurr provides the first analysis of Native American women’s reproductive healthcare and offers a sustained consideration of the movement for reproductive justice in the United States. The book examines the reproductive healthcare experiences on Pine Ridge Reservation, home of the Oglala Lakota Nation in South Dakota—where Gurr herself lived for more than a year. Gurr paints an insightful portrait of the Indian Health Service (IHS)—the federal agency tasked with providing culturally appropriate, adequate healthcare to Native Americans—shedding much-needed light on Native American women’s efforts to obtain prenatal care, access to contraception, abortion services, and access to care after sexual assault. Reproductive Justice goes beyond this local story to look more broadly at how race, gender, sex, sexuality, class, and nation inform the ways in which the government understands reproductive healthcare and organizes the delivery of this care. It reveals why the basic experience of reproductive healthcare for most Americans is so different—and better—than for Native American women in general, and women in reservation communities particularly. Finally, Gurr outlines the strengths that these communities can bring to the creation of their own reproductive justice, and considers the role of IHS in fostering these strengths as it moves forward in partnership with Native nations. Reproductive Justice offers a respectful and informed analysis of the stories Native American women have to tell about their bodies, their lives, and their communities. |

| alternatives a health collective: When Doctors Join Unions Grace Budrys, 2018-10-18 Current and anticipated changes in this country's health care system are likely to add momentum to the physicians' union movement, according to Grace Budrys. She documents the emergence and development of the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (UAPD), founded in the San Francisco Bay area in 1972, and suggests it may be a harbinger of renewed organizing efforts throughout the country.Representing both salaried and private practice doctors, the UAPD gained strength in the early 1980s during the crisis in malpractice suits, and surged again in recent years in response to steadily increasing medical corporatization. Budrys argues that the approach to modernization now favored across the country resembles that of the industrialization era. As health organizations become larger, more centralized, and more hierarchical, decisions are made further from the work site and some traditional responsibilities are delegated to lower-paid, less-trained workers.Nevertheless, the image of blue-collar industrial workers organizing into unions is not easily reconciled with our society's image of physicians as highly trained and highly skilled members of a profession long considered the bastion of individualists. Budrys suggests that doctors' unions in general and the UAPD in particular may provide a model for other nontraditional groups and occupations seeking solutions to contemporary problems in the workplace. After discussing the laws governing workers' organizing rights and their interpretation by the courts, she concludes with commentary on the organizing activity taking place among highly paid and highly educated workers. |
| alternatives a health collective: The Privatization of Care Pat Armstrong, Hugh Armstrong, 2019-09-25 Nursing homes are where some of the most vulnerable live and work. In too many homes, the conditions of work make it difficult to make care as good as it can be. For the last eight years an international team from Germany, Sweden, Norway, the UK, the US and Canada have been searching for promising practices that treat residents, families and staff with dignity and respect in ways that can also bring joy. While we did find ideas worth sharing, we also saw a disturbing trend toward privatization. Privatization is the process of moving away not only from public delivery and public payment for health services but also from a commitment to shared responsibility, democratic decision-making, and the idea that the public sector operates according to a logic of service to all. This book documents moves toward privatization in the six countries and their consequences for families, staff, residents, and, eventually, us all. None of the countries has escaped pressure from powerful forces in and outside government pushing for privatization in all its forms. However, the wide variations in the extent and nature of privatization indicate privatization is not inevitable and our research shows there are alternatives. |

| alternatives a health collective: Concordance in Medical Consultations Kristian Pollock, 2016-07-06 Learning is most powerful when it is both hard work and fun. This usually means that it is interactive and based on experience challenging but at the same time possible. This book presents a wide variety of games activities and techniques that any teacher tutor or team leader can use to help others learn. Each of the chapters has a short introduction followed by several exercises that are interactive fun and will reinforce learning in knowledge skills and attitudes. The tools provided describe not only how to do an exercise but also when with whom what will make it work well what can go wrong and give insights into the impact it might make. The authors are experienced in leading teams planning and providing education and the tools are tried and tested in real teaching and learning situations. The ideas can be used in and across all disciplines and settings. |

| alternatives a health collective: British Industrial Relations Gill Palmer, 2024-10-21 British Industrial Relations (1983) provides a comprehensive and balanced approach to British industrial relations, an often controversial subject with a variety of academic interpretations which achieved a large significance in national politics. The author draws on political and social theory to explain both the state of British industrial relations in the 1980s and the conflicting prescriptions for change. Trade unions and collective bargaining are placed in the context of the inevitable development of group negotiation within complex organisations. The often neglected importance of management strategy in the design of work and in the development of the British system is emphasised and different interpretations on the state’s role in industrial relations are fully explored. This book has a broad ranging approach, using the latest developments in political, labour process, trade union and organisation theories relevant to the understanding of industrial relations. British institutions are the main focus of study but illustrations from Japan, the USA and Germany are also used and the importance of an historical perspective is underlined. |
