Therapeutic Pluralism: Exploring the Experiences of Cancer Patients and Professionals
Autor Alex Broom, Philip Toveyen Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 mar 2008
Drawing on extensive fieldwork in the UK, Therapeutic Pluralism includes over 120 interviews with cancer patients and professionals, plus innovative ‘diary’ data which, for the first time, detail the experiences of CAM users. It gives a systematic analysis of issues such as:
- The development of patient preferences and influences on decision making
- Expectations of CAM and interpretations of ‘success’ in cancer treatment
- The nature and importance of ‘evidence’ and ‘effectiveness’ for patients
- The organisational dynamics involved in integrating CAM into the NHS
- Pathways to CAM and the role of the Internet
- The role of oncology clinicians in patients’ experiences of cancer and their use of CAMs
