Agency and Bodily Autonomy in Systems of Care examines how humans and their bodies become enmeshed in systems of care. This book establishes the need for advocacy and policy change to improve health outcomes by re-envisioning systems of care as spaces that include individual agency and bodily autonomy.
Agency and Bodily Autonomy in Systems of Care examines the ways in which humans and their bodies become enmeshed in various systems of care. Seven case studies demonstrate the ways in which people lose, negotiate, establish, or impose bodily autonomy in diverse contexts. Diverse methods and perspectives from cultural and medical anthropology, bioarchaeology and public health establish the need for advocacy and policy change to improve health outcomes by re-envisioning systems of care as spaces that include room for individual agency and bodily autonomy. This volume explores diverse subjects to promote advocacy for patient-centered care and bodily autonomy, and for liberation from over-medicalization.
