Analisa as questões relativas ao agente comunitário de saúde, decorrentes da grande disseminação dos Programas de Saúde da Família. Estudando o agente comunitário de saúde que atua no Projeto Qualis/PSF, no município de São Paulo, este livro examina a construção de identidades profissionais e caracteriza o perfil das áreas metropolitanas.

Inspirado em uma fábula contada por Franco Basaglia, assim como em seu pensamento e ações, este trabalho introduz a discussão sobre o paradigma que instituiu a doença mental no campo dos saberes psiquiátricos e o asilo como o lugar da verdade médica sobre a loucura. Escrito em linguagem e estilo claros e acessíveis, o livro desenvolve-se em torno de algumas reflexões que têm como objetivo demarcar um campo epistemológico para a reforma psiquiátrica, no contexto teórico do debate contemporâneo dos saberes e das ciências.

Often the switch to telecare technology used to help caretakers provide treatment to their patients off-site is portrayed as either a nightmare scenario or a much needed panacea for all our healthcare woes. This widely researched study probes what happens when technologies are used to provide healthcare at a distance. Drawing on ethnographic studies of both patients and nurses involved in telecare, Jeannette Pols demonstrates that instead of resulting in less intensive care for patients, there is instead a staggering rise in the frequency of contact between nursing staff and their patients. 'Care at a Distance' takes the theoretical framework of telecare and provides hard data about these innovative care practices, while producing an accurate portrayal of the pros and cons of telecare.
