With case studies from Britain, America, France, Germany, Finland, Bengal, China and the South Pacific, it demonstrates how popular and medical understandings of the mind and body were reframed by the social, cultural and political structures of 'modern life'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapters in the collection examine ways in which cancer, suicide and social degeneration were seen as products of the stresses and strains of 'new' ways of living. Others explore the legal, institutional and intellectual changes that contributed to modern medical practice. The volume traces how physiological and psychological problems were constituted in relation to each other and to their social contexts, offering new ways of contextualising the problems of modernity facing us in the twenty-first century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book is relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3, 'Good health and well-being'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sally Shuttleworth\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526133687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526133687\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Sally Shuttleworth","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43936497041663,"sku":"9781526133687","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2c2f73f1-12bf-4b64-a092-99c2f703d197.jpg?v=1681425906","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/progress-and-pathology-david-cantor-9781526133687","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
