These research results are the outcome of an analysis of more than 3,500 letters sent to the Polish State TV by viewers of a two-year-long series of programs offering unconventional psychotherapy. The analysis of the material enabled sociological reconstruction of everyday lay thinking of illness, health and medicine. The book also examined the relevance of classic socio-medical theories for the study of health behaviors associated with treatments offered by healers. 04 Contents: Non-Medical Healing Systems as a Sociological Phenomenon - Polish Folk Medical Systems and Self-Treatment - Continuity and Change - Therapies of Modern Healers - Specificity, Contexts and Interpretations. 04 08 01 http://www.peterlang.com/exportdatas/exportfiles/onix/toc/9783631621905_toc.pdf 13 Włodzimierz Piątkowski, associate professor, Department of Medical Sociology, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, Lublin (Poland); Founder and Head of Department of Medical Sociology, Medical University, Lublin; elected national coordinator of the European Society for Health and Medical Sociology (ESHMS) in 1990. 33 08 01 http://www.peterlang.com/exportdatas/exportfiles/onix/intro/9783631621905_leseprobe01.pdf 04 03 01 http://www.peterlang.com/exportdatas/exportimages/onix/cover/9783631621905.jpg Copyright Peter Lang AG 20120201 http://www.peterlang.com/?262190 Peter Lang International Academic Publishers 01 05 83499 Peter Lang GmbH, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften http://www.peterlang.com Frankfurt DE 04 20120223 2012 01 WORLD 01 210 mm 02 148 mm 08 400 gr 27 01 Publishers Order No 262190E 03 9783653015621 15 9783653015621 DG 05 83499 PeterLang AG 01 20 01 40.2 GBP GB Z 01 44.7 EUR Z 01 62.95 USD US Z 02 47.8 EUR DE R 02 49.2 EUR AT R 02 59 CHF CH R
