Medical Sociology on the Move

Revised Edition including New Directions in Theory

The Politics of Mental Health and Illness

This interdisciplinary volume examines the social production of mental health and illness in Australia and Aotearoa (New Zealand). It draws together cutting-edge critical mental health scholarship from the region, to interrogate how personal, community, institutional and mediated relations, make and remake experiences of 'mental health.'

In the wake of the widespread insertion of psy-considerations into everyday lives, here contributors demonstrate how the relations between communities, practices, professionals and institutions often replicate long-standing histories of discrimination and violence motivated by psychiatric classification, even as the psy-disciplines move into supposedly more transformational domains: digital technology, schooling, human resources, and social media, for example.

The book's&nbsp;chapters reflect the current diversity within academic studies of mental health and illness in Australia and Aotearoa. This includes a wide range of case studies from war trauma in the Australian military and pornography addiction, to the depathologisation of trans health&nbsp;and peer workers in mental health services.

Critical Mental Health in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand&nbsp;offers unique insights particular to the region, to students and scholars of&nbsp;critical&nbsp;psychology, history, sociology, medical humanities, and education.

Natalie Ann Hendry&nbsp;is an educator and researcher who has worked and collaborated across community, secondary and hospital-based education sectors since 2003. Forever curious about the messy relationships between health, digital media and education, Natalie's research engages with media studies, cultural studies and sociological theories and uses digital ethnography, creative methods and policy analysis approaches. She currently is a Senior Lecturer in Youth Wellbeing in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne, where she teaches social research methodology and social and critical approaches to wellbeing in schools.&nbsp;

Effie Karageorgos&nbsp;is a Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Newcastle (UON), Australia. Her research focuses on the social history of war through the study of protest, violence, war, gender and psychiatry.&nbsp;She is an Editor of&nbsp;Health and History, the official journal of the Australian and New Zealand Society for the History of Medicine and has served as co-convenor of the UON Future of Madness Network. She coordinates the Social Production of Mental Health interdisciplinary seminar series with Natalie Ann Hendry.

Critical Mental Health in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand

Building on the success of the first and second editions, the updated third edition of the Handbook of Epidemiology serves as a major reference for all researchers who want to conduct epidemiological studies or who want to deepen their understanding of epidemiological concepts, methods, and areas of application. The new edition provides an update of all chapters of the second edition and includes additional new chapters to account for recent developments in the field. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field and covers basic approaches as well as novel and advanced methodologies with a strong applied focus by integrating the most relevant state-of-the-art knowledge that otherwise could only be gathered from single specialist publications dispersed over various scientific journals. It reviews the key issues and methodological approaches pertinent to the field for which the reader pursues an expatiated overview. It may thus serve both as a first orientation for the interested reader and as a starting point for an in-depth study of a specific area as well as a quick reference and a recapitulatory update for the expert.The broad scope of the book becomes apparent by its five sections that facilitate an integration of epidemiological concepts and methods, statistical tools, applications, and epidemiological practice: Part I covers Concepts and Designs in Epidemiology; Part II, Methodological Approaches in Epidemiology; Part III, Statistical Methods in Epidemiology; Part IV, Exposure-Oriented Epidemiology; and Part V, Outcome-Oriented Epidemiology. All chapters follow a similar structure and highlight cross-references to related topics and specialist knowledge to be found in the Handbook. They give an overview of the topic and the most important problems and approaches that are illustrated by examples. Each chapter serves as an introductory text that helps to enter a new field by addressing basic concepts without being too elementary. Thus, it also is of interest for readers who are familiar with the particular topic by reflecting on its state-of-the-art and future perspectives. Each chapter stands on its own and comprises introductory elements that can be understood by the novice, i.e., a readership not being too familiar with the methodological background, and extends to in-depth knowledge that may serve as a reference for the trained epidemiologist. The standard procedures and methods, basic concepts, and knowledge are presented as well as recent advances and new perspectives. The list of references thus covers the whole range from introductory texts to publications for the advanced reader. In particular, the chapters on statistical methods are written for researchers in health sciences who do not have the background of theoretical statisticians and may be in need of application-oriented tools. These chapters offer numerous examples, practical applications, and illustrations. Handbook of Epidemiology, 3rd Edition, is a relevant resource for professionals involved in health research, health reporting, health promotion, disease prevention, health services, and health systems administration, as well as those who need a reference book that covers all aspects of epidemiology as a comprehensive consultant for specific topics. The Handbook also is a useful text for researchers and graduate students in all disciplines related to epidemiology and public health.

Handbook of Epidemiology

A moving cultural history of disability--and a powerful call to action to change how our medical system and society supports those with complex chronic conditions From lupus to Lyme, invisible illness is often dismissed by everyone but the sufferers. Why does the medical establishment continually insist that, when symptoms are hard to explain, they are probably just in your head? Inspired by her work with long COVID patients, medical anthropologist Emily Mendenhall traces the story of complex chronic conditions to show why both research and practice fail so many. Mendenhall points out disconnects between the reality of chronic disease--which typically involves multiple intersecting problems resulting in unique, individualized illness--and the assumptions of medical providers, who behave as though chronic diseases have uniform effects for everyone. And while invisible illnesses have historically been associated with white middle-class women, being believed that you are sick is even more difficult for patients whose social identities and lived experiences may not align with dominant medical thought. Weaving together cultural history with intimate interviews, Invisible Illness upholds the experiences of those living with complex illness to expose the failures of the American healthcare system--and how we can do better.

A History, from Hysteria to Long Covid

Invisible Illness

Das „Gesetz zur Beschleunigung der Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen“ (Digital-Gesetz – DigiG) und das „Gesetz zur verbesserten Nutzung von Gesundheitsdaten“ (Gesundheitsdatennutzungsgesetz – GDNG) waren fast ein Jahr in Kraft, als die 10. Transfertagung „eHealth &amp; Society“ stattfand. Die Beiträge dieses Buches orientieren sich an den Vorträgen dieser Veranstaltung. Dieses Herausgeberwerk greift daher interdisziplinär gesundheitliche Gegenwartsaspekte auf, die im gesamtgesellschaftlichen Kontext kontrovers diskutiert werden: Ob es die Erreichbarkeit der elektronischen Patientenakte für gesellschaftliche Randgruppen oder Hochbetagte, deren technische Umsetzung, die Forschung mit Gesundheitsdaten, den Einsatz von Cyborg-Technologien im Alltag, die Digitalisierung im Öffentlichen Gesundheitsdienst betrifft; all dies sind relevante Beiträge aus dem Bereich eHealth. Parallel werden aber auch relevante Beiträge aus dem Themenfeld Society reflektiert: Hierzu zählen eine zeitgemäße Ethik für einen seit über 800 Jahren im Gesundheitswesen tätigen, ehemaligen Ritterorden, die Folgenabschätzung mangelnder Bewegung von Kindern und Jugendlichen, das Patientenrechtegesetz, oder auch das zunehmend digitalisierte Betriebliche Gesundheitsmanagement.&nbsp;Die HerausgeberProf. Dr. habil. Manfred Cassens&nbsp;lehrt im Hochschulbereich&nbsp;Gesundheit und Soziales an der FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie &amp; Management in München; zudem ist er Direktor des FOM-Instituts für Gesundheit &amp; Soziales (ifgs).&nbsp;Prof. Dr. Thomas Städter&nbsp;lehrt im Hochschulbereich Wirtschaftsinformatik der FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie &amp; Management in München; zudem ist er Koordinator der Forschungsgruppe eHealth am FOM-Institut für Gesundheit &amp; Soziales (ifgs). Dr. Nicole Gröne ist Unternehmensberaterin für Digitalisierung und Künstliche Intelligenz, sowie nebenberuflich Lehrende an der FOM Hochschule für Oekonomie &amp; Management in München.

Seit dem 26. März 2024 gilt das „Gesetz zur Beschleunigung der Digitalisierung des Gesundheitswesens“ (DigiG). Die wegen ihrer Langsamkeit und fehlenden Konsequenz in der Vergangenheit oft kritisierte Digitalisierungsstrategie für das Gesundheitswesen soll damit beschleunigt werden. Kernelemente sind für die Versicherten vor allem die ab dem 15. Februar 2025 anlaufende, flächendeckende Einführung der elektronischen Patientenakte (ePA) sowie das e-Rezept für alle Versicherten. Auch soll die telemedizinische Versorgung ab sofort intensiver in die Gesamtstrategie eingebaut werden. Dem Bundesverband für Arzneimittelhersteller zur Folge wurden im Jahr 2022 lediglich cirka 113.000 digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen („DiGA’s“) abgerufen - ein Indiz für die provozierende Leitfrage dieses Werkes. Auch aus den Reihen des Kassenärztlichen Bundesvorstandes kommt immer wieder Kritik: Zu klein sei beispielsweise die vorgegebene maximale Dateigröße (25 MB) und zu komplex die Umsetzung der Digitalisierungsmaßnahmen in den Praxisablauf. Ohne Frage steht das deutsche Gesundheitssystem momentan vor großen Umwälzungen, innerhalb derer die konsequente Hinwendung zu mehr Digitalität ein Muss darstellt. Dies kann und darf aber nicht zulasten von mangelndem Datenschutz und fehlender Datensicherheit gehen, wie dies internationale Beispiele in der Vergangenheit zeigten. Das Herausgeberwerk beinhaltet aber auch soziale, bislang ungeklärte Fragen, so zum Beispiel die bislang ungeklärten Zugangsbarrieren und die damit verbundenen Probleme für besonders vulnerable Gruppen wie Hochbetagte oder auch Wohnungs- und Obdachlose.

A Bloody Scandal

Durch eine qualifiziertere und häufigere Reanimation (Herz-Lungen-Wiederbelebung) könnten allein in Deutschland jedes Jahr 10.000 Leben gerettet werden. Während das erlernte Wissen aus dem Erste-Hilfe-Kurs zur Fahrschule relativ schnell vergessen ist, rufen Szenen mit Wiederbelebungen aus Serien und Filmen die Notsituation regelmäßig ins Gedächtnis. Nicht immer wird in der Fiktion allerdings so reanimiert, wie es in der Realität am besten wäre. Können die Reanimationen aus der Popkultur trotzdem dabei helfen, uns zu besseren Ersthelfern zu machen? Welchen Beitrag leisten filmische Ausdrucksformen zur Verbreitung von Wissen zu Selbsthilfemaßnahmen für Notsituationen? Und ließe sich diese Erkenntnis auf andere Lebensrisiken und entsprechende Vorsorgemaßnahmen übertragen?&nbsp;Der AutorDr. Denis Newiak ist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl für Angewandte Medienwissenschaften an der Brandenburgischen Technischen Universität Cottbus-Senftenberg. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte liegen auf dem in Science-Ficition-Filmen und -Serien enthaltenen Zukunftswissen, den gemeinschaftsstiftenden Funktionen von Fernsehserien&nbsp;und Ausdrucksformen moderner Einsamkeit in Film und Fernsehen.

Social Justice

This book sheds new light on the complex relationship between criminal liability, sexuality and public health in the era of Aids. It analyses, in particular, the role of public health arguments, and the language of 'sexual rights', in legal struggles aimed at decriminalising certain forms of 'risky' sexual conduct. Addressing gay sex, paid sex, and sex carried out by people living with HIV and Aids, the book demonstrates how public health experts are increasingly arguing that the criminal laws used to regulate these areas of behaviour should be abandoned in order to reduce the stigma and discrimination experienced by the 'risky' sexual populations that they target.

This book sheds new light on the complex relationship between criminal liability, sexuality and public health in the era of Aids. It analyses, in particular, the role of public health arguments, and the language of ‘sexual rights’, in legal struggles aimed at decriminalising certain forms of ‘risky’ sexual conduct. Addressing gay sex, paid sex, and sex carried out by people living with HIV and Aids, the book demonstrates how public health experts are increasingly arguing that the criminal laws used to regulate these areas of behaviour should be abandoned in order to reduce the stigma and discrimination experienced by the ‘risky’ sexual populations that they target. In so doing, it is argued, the ability of those populations to protect themselves and others from infection with HIV is increased, whilst also making it easier for clinicians and sexual health workers to help manage those risks. Integrating queer theory with other Foucault-inspired critical interventions, this book builds upon recent conversations between queer theory, feminism and postcolonial studies in order to contend that the use of public health arguments aimed at decriminalising sexual conduct creates new opportunities, but also new challenges, for contemporary sexual movements.

An Anthropology of Global Immunization explores some of the most pressing vaccine concerns of our time, from HPV to COVID-19, HIV and beyond. This edited collection develops a unique anthropological response to the question of global immunization, addressing issues from vaccine hesitancy and conspiracy theories to local biopolitics. The global perspectives in this volume are bound together by critical anthropological themes of nationalism, governance and local biosocial realities. The collection lays a critical foundation to understand vaccine development, implementation and public health policy.
