‘The distinguished author of this collection of scholarly essays, the President of the American Association for the History of Medicine, brings the history of medicine out of the parochial concerns of practitioners of the discipline, viewing it within ‘the rich context of the intellectual and social change of the last two centuries … Intellectually stimulating.’Journal of the Institute of Health Education, 'The distinguished author of this collection of scholarly essays, the President of the American Association for the History of Medicine, brings the history of medicine out of the parochial concerns of practitioners of the discipline, viewing it within 'the rich context of the intellectual and social change of the last two centuries ...

Intellectually stimulating.' Journal of the Institute of Health Education, Indeed, the very question Rosenberg raises, namely, 'Why care about the history of medicine?' not only reverberates through a number of his essays, but his carefully framed analyses conclusively demonstrate the utility of a historical perspective in sifting through the various components of our contemporary health crisis. These essays demand attentive reading; one hopes they will stimulate furthyer reflection and generate additional studies.

Journal of the Institute of Health Education, "I would suggest this work to anyone in the health profession as a much needed grounding for her or his education. We cannot know who we are without knowing where we have been, and Rosenberg provides us with some useful guideposts." The Library Letter, "In a brief review it is impossible to do justice to Rosenberg's rich writings. Suffice it to say that we are all indebted to him for exploring the history of medicine and disease in ways that blaze new paths for others to follow." Bulletin of the History of Medicine

Synopsis
Medicine until recently remained a history written by and for practitioners. These essays diverge from this tradition in an attempt to view medical history within the context of intellectual and social change of the last two centuries., Medicine has always had its historians; but until recently it was a history written by and for practitioners. Charles Rosenberg has been one of the key figures in recent decades in opening up the history of medicine beyond parochial concerns and instead viewing medicine in the rich currents of intellectual and social change of the past two centuries. This book brings together for the first time in one place many of Professor Rosenberg's most important essays. The first two sections of essays, focusing on ideas and institutions, are meant at the same time to underline interactions between these realms. The essays treat such topics as therapeutics and its relationship to social change in the nineteenth century; the practice of medicine in New York a century ago; and the rise and fall of the dispensary. The third section of the book focuses on the attempt to use history as a resource for discussion of a medical world that often seems out of control and in a semi-permanent crisis, economic, organizational, and humane. The essays discuss themes that have become visible to the public - deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill and the status of psychiatry; the hospital as a social and economic problem; and the social negotiations surrounding AIDS., Medicine has always had its historians; but until recently it was a history written by and for practitioners.

Charles Rosenberg is the Janice and Julian Bers Professor of the History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. He is the author, most recently, of the widely acclaimed book, The Care of Strangers: The Rise of America's Hospital System (1987). He has served as president of the Society for the Social History of Medicine and is currently the president of the American Association for the History of Medicine.

    The seller was kind enough to send me a USPS tracking number so that I could have a good idea as to when I’d receive my item. It came a day later than expected (probably due to the cold snap and snow storm here) and the seller was quick to respond when I voiced my concern on its arrival. It was packaged very well, no water damage or dings. Would recommend buying books from this seller!

    My item shipped, but I never received it. I contacted the seller, and the seller quickly responded and offered to ship another with a deep discount. I requested a refund, and the seller quickly obliged, and refunded money promptly. I would buy from this seller again!
