A Failure of Treatment
By:Gilbert Lewis
Published on 2000 by Oxford University Press on Demand
'A Failure of Treatment is a splendid monograph and a good prescription for the medical anthropologists who are least likely to read it' -Journal of the Royal Anthropolgical InstituteThis book is a study of a serious illness in a New Guinea village. It records the failure of local treatments and Western medicine, and of a communal ritual to bring a spirit to heal a man; it also shows how cultural beliefs and assumptions may influence events. The author, an anthropologist and medical doctor, focuses on how those closely involved maintained their hope and beliefs, and how they faced the realization of failure.
