MedicineNovember 2024Technology, health and the patient consumer in the twentieth century
by Rachel Elder, Thomas Schlich
Technology and consumerism are two characteristic phenomena in the history medicine and healthcare, yet the connections between them are rarely explored by scholars. In this edited volume, the authors address this disconnect, noting the ways in which a variety of technologies have shaped patients' roles as consumers since the early twentieth century. Chapters examine key issues, such as the changing nature of patient information and choice, patients' assessment of risk and reward, and matters of patient role and of patient demand as they relate to new and changing technologies. They simultaneously investigate how differences in access to care and in outcomes across various patient groups have been influenced by the advent of new technologies and consumer-based approaches to health. The volume spans the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, spotlights an array of medical technologies and health products, and draws on examples from across the United States and United Kingdom.

Humanities & Social SciencesJanuary 2022Reconstructing lives
Victims of war in the Middle East and Médecins Sans Frontières
by Vanja Kovacic, Bertrand Taithe
This book attempts to establish a more holistic approach to the rehabilitation of war-injured civilians, one that adjusts to the patients' long-term needs. Kovacic not only offers an insight into the daily realities of patients during and after rehabilitation, but seeks to develop a new way to perceive, respect and involve them in health care. Based on comprehensive interviews with patients and MSF staff, as well as extended field observations, Reconstructing lives follows Syrian and Iraqi war-injured civilians in their journey to recovery. From their improvised medical treatment in their home countries, to the MSF-run hospital in Amman Jordan, to their return home, Kovacic explores how individuals attempt to pick up the pieces of their previous lives, add new elements from their treatment and travel experiences, and finally establish a new reconstructed reality. The book explores how the interaction between MSF staff and their patients contributes to the immense task of healing that awaits victims of war. The reader visits the intimate medical and domestic spaces that usually remain closed to the outside observer, spaces rich with human contact, perceptions, emotions, conflicts and reconciliations.

April 2021The Patient Catchers
How we are talked into illness
by Michelle Hildebrandt
The health market seems to have been unleashed, more and more actors, indications, methods compete for attention. Dr. Michelle Hildebrandt shows how companies, but also doctors and alternative medicine are “catching” patients out of economic interests – and how we are happy to put up with that. So more and more people are being treated unnecessarily or incorrectly with medicine and therapies, while at the same time rogue providers are propagating sometimes dangerous methods instead of calling for life-saving diagnostics. Knowledge is needed in order for patients to overcome their self-inflicted immaturity. Michelle Hildebrandt‘s book makes an important contribution to this.

2019Harmed Not Cured
Major medical and pharmaceutical scandals in Germany
by Eckart Roloff and Karin Henke-Wendt
Botched medications, malpractice, the transplant business: when doctors or pharmaceutical companies make mistakes or cross ethical boundaries, this often has serious consequences for patients. One example is thalidomide. Despite inadequate testing, the sleeping pill was marketed from 1957 to 1961, and caused a large number of pregnant women to give birth to children with severe deformities. Less well known, but no less scandalous, is the “Anti-D” affair in the former GDR, where, during 1978 and 1979, thousands of women and many children were infected with hepatitis C through contaminated immunoglobulins. This was not revealed until years later. This book presents 16 such cases – often the stuff of thrillers, but tragic at the same time. People who reach out for help, are instead deceived and harmed. All the more important are courageous and persistent patients and journalists, who have uncovered medical scandals, publicised them and taken the perpetrators to court. Without this, no-one would be learning from the mistakes.

MedicineMarch 2024Doing psychiatry in postwar Europe
Practices, routines and experiences
by Gundula Gahlen, Henriette Voelker, Volker Hess, Marianna Scarfone
Doing psychiatry engages with the history of European psychiatry in the second half of the twentieth century through a close and fresh look at the practices that contributed to reshape the mental health field. Case studies from across Europe allow readers to appreciate how new 'ways of doing' contributed to transform the field, beyond the watchwords of deinstitutionalisation, the prescription of neuroleptics, centrality of patients and overcoming of asylum-era habits. Through a variety of sources and often adopting a small-scale perspective, the chapters take a close look at the way new practices emerged and at how they installed themselves, eventually facing resistance, injecting new purposes and contributing to enlarging psychiatry's fields of expertise, therefore blurring its once-more-defined boundaries.

The war separated families, took lives, broke fates ... It is very important to know and remember it at any time. Even many decades later, new details, memories, and testimonies appear. This book gathers several fascinating, true family stories written from accounts of parents, grandparents, etc. The authors, whose articles were collected with the help of the popular scientific publication Historical Truth, tell us about the worst war of the 20th century, about the fate of those people whose lives were divided forever into “before” and “after.” Here we can find first-hand accounts about Ukrainians who fought in various armies, about the lives of deported people, about the fate of people taken to compulsory labor camps, and about the men and women who remain in our memories forever. - Historical Truth - honestly and openly about WWII - exclusive materials

September 1980Psychoanalyse und Unterschicht
Soziale Herkunft - ein Hindernis für die psychoanalytische Behandlung? Herausgegeben von Klaus Menne und Klaus Schröter
by Klaus Schröter, Klaus Menne
Angehörige der sozialen Unterschicht sind in der Klientel der Psychoanalyse deutlich unterrepräsentiert. Dies wurde vielfach durch ein Krankheitsverständnis dieser sozialen Gruppe zu erklären versucht, das in erster Linie an körperlichen Beschwerden orientiert ist. Da ein organisches Krankheitsverständnis die notwendige Mitarbeit im therapeutischen Prozeß erschwert, konnte gefolgert werden, daß diese Patienten nicht psychoanalytisch behandelbar seien. Auch ihre psychische Struktur und ihr Sprachgebrauch erschienen als kaum überwindbare Hindernisse. Eine aus Psychoanalytikern und Soziologen bestehende Arbeitsgruppe am Frankfurter Sigmund-Freud-Institut hat psychoanalytische Erstinterviews und Behandlungen von Patienten aus der sozialen Unterschicht untersucht, um zu klären, welche spezifischen Probleme im therapeutischen Prozeß auftreten und ob diese eine Behandlung mit den Mitteln der psychoanalytischen Technik verhindern. Als wesentlich erwies sich das Verhältnis von innerpsychischer und gesellschaftlicher Realität. Arbeitsteilung und gesellschaftliche Herrschaftsverhältnisse treten hier als »soziale Distanz« zwischen Patient und Arzt in Erscheinung. Dies kann dazu führen, daß die psychische Situation des Patienten durch äußere Gegebenheiten verdeckt wird: so etwa, weil der Patient seine Realität (die er eng mit den eigenen Phantasien verknüpft) als schwer durchschaubaren Widerstand gegen die Therapie benutzt, oder, weil der Analytiker diese für ihn ungewohnte soziale Realität nicht hinterfragt. Ein therapeutisch wirksames Gespräch setzt voraus, daß der Patient die Welt seines inneren Erlebens zum Ausdruck bringen kann, aber es setzt nicht voraus, daß dies in der Sprache der Mittelschicht geschieht. Gelingt es dem Analytiker, mit den besonderen Problemen, die sich in der Arbeit mit dieser Klientel ergeben, angemessen umzugehen, so unterscheiden sich die zutage tretenden psychischen Konflikte und die sich daraus ergebenden Konstellationen des psychoanalytischen Pr
