Obstetric Violence and Systemic Disparities: Can Obstetrics Be Humanized and Decolonized? (The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession #3)
by Robbie Davis-Floyd and Ashish PremkumarThe final volume in this landmark 3-volume series The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession looks at the challenges, and even violence, that obstetricians face across the world. Part I of this volume addresses obstetric violence and systemic racial, ethnic, gendered, and socio-structural disparities in obstetricians’ practices in the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Peru, and the US. Part II addresses decolonizing and humanizing obstetric training and practice in the UK, Russia, Brazil, New Zealand, and the US. Part 3 presents the ethnographic challenges that the chapter authors in Volumes II and III of this series faced in finding, surveying, interviewing, and observing obstetricians in various countries. This book is a must-read for students, social scientists, and all maternity care practitioners who seek to understand the diverse challenges that obstetricians must overcome. An excerpt: In our Series Overview in Volume 1, we asked the question, “Can a book create a field?” and answered that question with a resounding “Yes!” … For us, the official creation of the field of the Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians has taken not one, but the 3 volumes that constitute this Book Series.
Obstetricians Speak: On Training, Practice, Fear, and Transformation (The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession #1)
by Robbie Davis-Floyd and Ashish PremkumarFor the first time ever in a social science work, obstetricians tell their own stories of training, practice, fear, and transformation in this the first of the 3-volume series The Anthropology of Obstetrics and Obstetricians: The Practice, Maintenance, and Reproduction of a Biomedical Profession. These stories range from those of abortion providers to those of maternal-fetal medicine specialists. Several chapters tell the stories of obstetricians who have made paradigm shifts from technocratic to humanistic practices, the benefits and joys of these paradigm shifts, and the ostracism, bullying, and outright persecution these humanistic obstetricians have suffered. This book is a must-read for students, social scientists, and all maternity care practitioners who seek to understand the ideologies and motives of individual obstetricians. An excerpt from Kathleen Hanlon-Lundberg’s chapter: Largely maligned in reproductive anthropological literature as callous—if not brutal—self-serving effectors of the over-medicalization of childbirth, most obstetricians whom I know and have worked with are devoted to providing respectful, individualized care to their patients.

Obstetrie en gynaecologie: De voortplanting van de mens
by E.A.P. Steegers L.F.A.G. Massuger J.L.H. Evers M. J. HeinemanHet leerboek Obstetrie en gynaecologie. De voortplanting van de mens is een modern standaardwerk. De didactische opbouw, heldere stijl en de hoogwaardige illustraties maken het tot een onovertroffen leerboek. Elk hoofdstuk begint met leerdoelen en definities en wordt afgesloten met een samenvatting en een blik op de toekomst. Historie, methodologische aspecten, epidemiologie en demografie hebben een eigen plaats in de tekst, die is onderverdeeld in leer- en leesstukken. In kaders worden samenvattingen aangeboden. Casussen brengen theorie en praktijk bij elkaar. De referenties omvatten zowel klassieke en recente literatuur als vele internetadressen. in deze nieuwe, zevende druk is niet alleen de informatie geactualiseerd, maar zijn ook enkele nieuwe hoofdstukken (De jonge zwangerschap en Pre-maligne aandoeningen) toegevoegd. Daarnaast zijn er prachtige nieuwe illustraties opgenomen die eerder werden gepubliceerd in het boek Obstetrische interventies. En dat is niet alles: er is ook een begin gemaakt met een aan dit leerboek gekoppelde elektronische leeromgeving waar aanvullende informatie gevonden kan worden. Kijk voor verdere verdieping op de website StudieCloud.Het leerboek Obstetrie en gynaecologie heeft een lange geschiedenis. In 1973 verscheen, onder leiding van prof. dr. G.J. Kloosterman, De voortplanting van de mens, het voornaamste leerboek voor obstetrie en gynaecologie van de jaren zeventig en tachtig van de vorige eeuw. Het boek kwam tot stand door een goede samenwerking tussen de Nederlandstalige universiteitsklinieken en was uniek omdat voor het eerst in één leerboek alle onderdelen van de obstetrie en gynaecologie een plaats kregen. In 1993 nam prof. dr. P.J. Treffers het hoofdredacteurschap over en beleefde het boek, waarvan de titel was gewijzigd in Obstetrie en gynaecologie, twee drukken. Vanaf de derde druk is de uitgave herzien onder leiding van prof. dr. M.J. Heineman samen met nieuwe en jonge auteurs, allen werkend in vooraanstaande opleidingsklinieken, aan het bestaande schrijverscollectief toegevoegd waarmee de actualiteit van het leerboek gegarandeerd wordt.Inmiddels werken ruim zeventig specialisten, vrijwel allen actief in de zorg, mee aan dit boek. Daarmee wordt een volledig beeld gekregen van de obstetrie, gynaecologie en voortplantingsgeneeskunde en beschikken wij opnieuw over een compleet en overzichtelijk standaard

The Occasional Human Sacrifice: Medical Experimentation and the Price of Saying No
by Carl ElliottShocking cases of abusive medical research and the whistleblowers who spoke out against them, sometimes at the expense of their careers. The Occasional Human Sacrifice is an intellectual inquiry into the moral struggle that whistleblowers face, and why it is not the kind of struggle that most people imagine. Carl Elliott is a bioethicist at the University of Minnesota who was trained in medicine as well as philosophy. For many years he fought for an external inquiry into a psychiatric research study at his own university in which an especially vulnerable patient lost his life. Elliott’s efforts alienated friends and colleagues. The university stonewalled him and denied wrongdoing until a state investigation finally vindicated his claims. His experience frames the six stories in this book of medical research in which patients were deceived into participating in experimental programs they did not understand, many of which had astonishing and well-concealed mortality rates. Beginning with the public health worker who exposed the Tuskegee Syphilis Study and ending with the four physicians who in 2016 blew the whistle on lethal synthetic trachea transplants at the Karolinska Institute, Elliott tells the extraordinary stories of insiders who spoke out against such abuses, and often paid a terrible price for doing the right thing.

Occupation-Based Activity Analysis
by Heather ThomasOccupational therapists use occupations and activities as not just a goal, but also as a treatment medium, therefore, they must understand both the uniqueness of a client’s occupations and how an activity can be used therapeutically. To analyze the complexity of an occupation takes much more depth of understanding of the person engaging in it, his or her environment, and the uniqueness of the occupation a person has chosen. <p><p> The new Second Edition of Occupation-Based Activity Analysis continues the tradition of teaching students and clinicians the process of conducting activity analyses and occupation-based activity analyses. <p> Dr. Heather Thomas has updated Occupation-Based Activity Analysis, Second Edition to reflect the significant changes made to the activity analysis process and terminology in the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework, Third Edition. As in an activity analysis, occupation-based activity analysis looks at what is required for full participation, yet goes beyond analyzing the activity; it looks at what it means for the person engaging in it and how and where it is performed by that person. <p> Inside Occupation-Based Activity Analysis, Second Edition, each chapter is dedicated to a component of the activity analysis process and corresponding section of the Framework. Chapters have been restructured based on a greater emphasis on occupation-based activity analysis. From start to finish, readers are guided through identifying the occupation, sequence and timing, objects and properties, space and social demands, body functions, and structures and performance skills required.
