Description

Palgrave Encyclopedia of the Health Humanities provides a critical resource for understanding and debating the multi-, inter, and transdisciplinary research and practices of the health humanities. These seminal and international reference volumes for students, scholars, and practitioners draws on the fields that link health and social care and wellbeing with the arts and humanities. The entries provide particular emphasis on the history of the field and the praxis, functions, and applications of the health humanities for individual, community, public, international, and global health. Also explored in these volumes are healthcare stakeholders not previously considered in relation to a humanities perspective, such as paramedical and allied health staff and informal carers. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practitioners and scholars across the health humanities, humanities, arts, social sciences, public health, and medicine. The major focus of the volume is to highlight the role of the health humanities in enriching the social, cultural, and phenomenological experience and understanding of illness, health, and wellbeing.
