Holistic health through the lenses of identity and social structure
E. Sointu examines complementary and alternative medicines as practices oriented toward wellbeing, not solely physiological health. The book places the expansion of holistic health methods alongside changing ideas of selfhood, asking how these approaches intersect with gender and class. Its subject is therefore broader than individual treatment choices: it considers the social meanings attached to wellbeing and the ways health practices can be connected to identity and inequality. Published in 2012, it offers a theoretical framework for approaching alternative and complementary medicine as a cultural and social phenomenon.
