Abstract

The Cambridge World History of Medical Ethics is the first comprehensive scholarly account of the global history of medical ethics. Offering original interpretations of the field by leading bioethicists and historians of medicine, it will serve as the essential point of departure for future scholarship in the field. The volumes reconceptualize the history of medical ethics through the creation of new categories, including the life cycle; discourses of religion, philosophy, and bioethics; and the relationship between medical ethics and the state, which includes a historical reexamination of the ethics of apartheid, colonialism, communism, health policy, imperialism, militarism, Nazi medicine, Nazi "medical ethics," and research ethics. Also included are the first global chronology of persons and texts; the first concise biographies of major figures in medical ethics; and the first comprehensive bibliography of the history of medical ethics. An extensive index guides readers to topics, texts, and proper names.

Abstract

Quatrième de couverture : "Absurdités, dérives, abus et même maltraitances ont jalonné l'histoire de la folie. Comment comprendre autrement le succès de Mesmer et de son baquet ? Comment rendre compte de l'attribution à Saturne des troubles de l'humeur et au démon des tourments de l'âme ? Comment justifier l'enfermement psychiatrique des dissidents sous Staline ? Entourés d'une dizaine d'experts - des psychiatres mais aussi une historienne, un interniste ou un neurologue - Patrick Lemoine et Boris Cyrulnik débattent du passé de la psychiatrie. Ils nous proposent de nous concentrer sur quelques questions très actuelles et pour le moins épineuses : quelle nécessité de fonder une nouvelle psychiatrie aujourd'hui, et quel avenir pour cette discipline, longtemps branche folle de la médecine ?"
