This book addresses through an international lens the experiences of illness, the challenges of care, the politics and biopolitics of health and the ethical dilemmas related to subjectivity and afflictions in current medical care. In an era of biomedical technology and life-prolonging treatments, taking into account the different subjective experiences of illness and suffering is imperative, as is analysing the extent to which different healthcare policies and services are sensitive to the voice and experience of those afflicted. This book is a unique international contribution on subjectivities and afflictions from a medical anthropology perspective. It is significant reading for health professionals and researchers working in medical anthropology, health sociology, cultural psychiatry, and social medicine, among other fields.
