Series Statement:
Routledge studies in rhetoric and communication ; 45
Content:
"This book explores how women make meaning at various health flashpoints in their lives, overcoming fear, anxiety, and anger to draw upon self-advocacy, research, and crucial decision-making. Combining focus group research, content analysis, autoethnography, and textual inquiry, the book argues that the making and remaking of what we call "patient epistemologies" is a continual process wherein a health flashpoint-sometimes a new diagnosis, sometimes a reoccurrence or worsening of an existing condition or the progression of a natural process-can cause an individual to be thrust into a discourse community that was not of their own choosing. This study will interest students and scholars of health communication, rhetoric of health and medicine, women's studies, public health, healthcare policy, philosophy of medicine, medical sociology and medical humanities"--
