- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Yale Univ Pr
- Publish date: 02/01/1993
Description:
In this pathbreaking book, physician/sociologist Howard Waitzkin applies modern techniques of literary analysis--structuralism, post-structuralism, and critical literary theory--to transcripts of doctor/patient exchanges. He shows how physicians' focus on physical complaints often fails to address patients' underlying concerns and also reinforces the societal problems that cause or aggravate these maladies.
