Shifting the focus from the medical use of spas to their cultural and social functions, this study shows that eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German spas served a vital role as spaces where new ways of perceiving the natural environment and conceptualizing society were disseminated. Although spas continued to be places of health and healing, their function and perception in central Europe changed fundamentally around the middle of the eighteenth century. This transformation of the role of the spa occurred in two ways. First, the spa popularized a new perception of the landscape with a preference for mountains and the seacoast, forming the basis for the cultural assumptions underlying modern tourism. Second, contemporaries perceived spas as meeting places comparable to institutions of Enlightenment sociability like coffeehouses, salons, and Masonic lodges. Spas were conceived as spaces where the nobility and the bourgeoisie could interact on an equal footing, thereby overcoming the constraints of early modern social boundaries. These changes were negotiated both through personal interactions at the spa and an increasingly sophisticated published spa discourse. The late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century German spa thus helped to bring about social and cultural modernity. --

In het beleidsdiscours rond zorg en welzijn staan zelfzorg, zelfredzaamheid en participatie meer en meer centraal. De actieve, mondige burger wordt verondersteld zijn verantwoordelijkheid op te nemen voor zijn eigen welbevinden. Maar hoe doe je dat als individuele patiënt of cliënt? De zorg- en welzijnssector van haar kant kampt met een steeds hogere werkdruk. Daardoor dreigt de medisch-technische benadering ten koste te gaan van de psycho-sociale noden van patiënten en cliënten. Hoe kunnen zorgprofessionelen het evenwicht bewaken?Een antwoord is te vinden bij de 1.400 zelfhulpgroepen in Vlaanderen. Patiënten en cliënten kunnen er terecht voor lotgenotencontact, informatie, praktische hulp en belangenbehartiging. Zelfhulpgroepen behandelen zorgvragen die zorgprofessionelen niet kunnen beantwoorden door tijdsgebrek of omdat ze onvoldoende voeling hebben met de leefwereld en de voorkeuren van de betrokkenen. Dit boek beschrijft het Vlaamse zelfhulplandschap en staat stil bij de geschiedenis en de achtergrond ervan. Het geeft inzicht in de werkwijze van zelfhulpgroepen en belicht hun positief effect aan de hand van voorbeelden uit de praktijk. Daarnaast biedt het handvatten om de samenwerking tussen zelfhulpgroepen en zorgprofessionelen te stimuleren. Hoe verwijs je als zorgprofessioneel je patiënt of cliënt door naar een zelfhulpgroep? Welke ondersteunende rollen kan je opnemen ten aanzien van de werking van zelfhulpgroepen? En op welke wijze kan je de zelfhulpfilosofie uitdragen?

"This is the first book to unpack the legal and ethical issues surrounding unauthorised intimate examinations during labour. The book uses feminist, socio-legal and philosophical tools to explore the issues of power, vulnerability and autonomy. The collection challenges the perception that the law adequately addresses different manifestations of unauthorised medical touch through the lens of women's experiences of unauthorised vaginal examinations during labour. The book unearths several broader themes that are of huge significance to lawyers and healthcare professionals such as the legal status of women and their bodies. The book raises questions about women's experiences during childbirth in hospital settings. It explores the status of women's bodies during labour and childbirth where too easily they become objectified, and it raises important issues around consent. The book highlights links to the law on sexual offences and women's loss of power under the medical gaze. The book includes contributions from leading feminist philosophers, medical professionals, and academics in medicine and law, and offers pioneering analysis relevant to lawyers and healthcare professionals with an interest in medical law and ethics; feminist theory; criminal law; tort law; and human rights law"--
