How to Speak Postmodern: Medicine, Illness, and Cultural Change
Hastings Center Report 30 (6):7-16 (2000)
Abstract
The modernist “biomedical model” offers an inadequate understanding of illness. At the same time, some of the conceptual constructs that are offered to supplement the biomedical model are carelessly employed. Much that is said and written about empathy and healing, in particular, fails to reflect the historical and critical self‐awareness of postmodern thinking at its best.My notes
