{"product_id":"the-patient-as-text-petter-aaslestad-9781846193620","title":"The Patient as Text: The Role of the Narrator in Psychiatric Notes, 1890-1990","description":"A commonly-held model of the doctor-patient relationship casts it as a subject\/object relationship: broadly the patient is a 'text', and the doctor the reader or interpreter of that text. However, recent critical models preset notions of text and reader as complex and unstable, and the relationship of doctor and patient as similarly complicated. Explorations of psychiatry and 'madness' by critics such as Michel Foucault present a further background of complex ideological change. In The Patient as Text, Petter Aaslestad explores selections from over a century of psychiatric notes from Gaustad Hospital, Norway against this critical background, exploring the impact of ideological and medical changes surrounding the psychiatric clinical relationship and psychiatric professionals as constructors of narratives. This book will be of interest to researchers in the medical humanities, psychiatric practitioners, and those with an interest in medical history and critical theory.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Petter Aaslestad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846193621\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846193620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2010 pg. 91","brand":"Petter Aaslestad","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078695219455,"sku":"9781846193620","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ebc0a5ca-0f48-48fb-a452-93e72d98d0dc.jpg?v=1685476978","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-patient-as-text-petter-aaslestad-9781846193620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
