This unique book applies concepts from the field of anthropology to clinical settings to result in a theory of clinical anthropology.

This unique book applies concepts from the field of anthropology to clinical settings to result in a powerful and dynamic model/theory of clinical anthropology. These clinical settings could include hospitals, police and probation situations, individual and marriage and family counseling, as well as cross-cultural issues, governmental policy, and other instances of educational delivery of concepts and behaviors that allow individuals/groups to reduce stress and move toward personal/group health. In addition to appealing to anthropology and other social/behavioral science scholars, this book will be useful to clinicians of many specialities within Western biomedicine including physicians, nurses, and health care administrators.

John Rush's is no ordinary medical or applied medical anthropology book of the 1980's or 1990's. It is a refreshing antidote to the narrow scholarly specializations and narrow interests that have made anthropology over at least the past two decades so parochial a field. I know of no other clinical/medical anthropology work like it. In addition to appealing to graduate anthropology and other social/behavioral science scholars, this book should appeal to clinicians of many specialties within Western biomedicine.—Howard F. Stein, Professor of Family Medicine^LUniversity of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center^Lauthor of ^IPrairie Voices^R (Bergin & Garvey, 1996)
