Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An examination of the contemporary medicalization of death and dying that calls us to acknowledge instead death's existential and emotional realities.An examination of the contemporary medicalization of death and dying that calls us to acknowledge instead death's existential and emotional re…alities.Death is a natural, inevitable, and deeply human process, and yet Western medicine tends to view it as a medical failure. In their zeal to prevent death, physicians and hospitals often set patients and their families on a seemingly unstoppable trajectory toward medical interventions that may actually increase suffering at the end of life. This volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series examines the medicalization of death and dying and proposes a different approach--one that acknowledges death's existential and emotional realities.The authors--one an academic who teaches and studies end-of-life care, and the other a physician trained in hospice and palliative care--offer an account of Western-style death and dying that is informed by both research and personal experience. They examine the medical profession's attitude toward death as a biological dysfunction that needs fixing; describe the hospice movement, as well as movements for palliative care and aid in dying, and why they failed to influence mainstream medicine; consider our reluctance to have end-of-life conversations; and investigate the commodification of medicine and the business of dying. To help patients die in accordance with their values, they say, those who care for the dying should focus less on delaying death by any means possible and more on being present with the dying on their journey. "A short, accessible book on issues of death and dying from the perspective of the medical professions"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Condition: New. Idioma/Language: Español. Este libro reflexiona, desde una posición interdisciplinaria en la que confluyen la ética, la sociología y los estudios biosanitarios, acerca del tratamiento de la muerte, la agonía y las enfermedades incurables en la sociedad contemporánea. A partir de sus experiencias como investigador…es, profesionales y usuarios del sistema de salud estadounidense, los autores repasan la muerte y la agonía desde distintos ángulos, entre los cuales resulta muy destacado el de la atención que se presta a estos fenómenos en las instituciones médicas y tanatológicas, desde los grandes hospitales a los tanatorios, pasando por las clínicas de cuidados paliativos, los centros médicos locales o las empresas de servicios funerarios, entre otras. Por lo demás, el ensayo pretende llamar la atención acerca de la desatención académica y general que afecta a estos asuntos, aun cuando son cruciales tanto para las vidas de los individuos como para el conjunto de nuestra sociedad. *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.
