Microaggressions in Medicine by Heather Stewart (English) Paperback Book

Description: Microaggressions in Medicine by Heather Stewart, Lauren Freeman Microaggressions in Medicine introduces a novel account of microaggressions and applies it in medical contexts. Guided by diverse patient testimonies and case studies, it focuses on harms experienced by patients marginalized on the basis of race, gender, sexual orientation, body size, and disability. It makes a compelling case that the harms of microaggressions are anything but micro and argues that healthcare professionals have a moral obligation to prevent them. By proving practical strategies for healthcare professionals to reduce microaggressions in their practices, Microaggressions in Medicine will make a positive difference in the lives of marginalized patients as they interact with healthcare professionals. All patients deserve high quality, patient-centered care, but healthcare professionals must change their practices in order to achieve such equity.

This book-especially the tips for healthcare professionals to reduce microaggressions in their practices-should be required reading in medical schools. * Maya Dusenbery, Author of Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick *Microaggressions in Medicine offers readers a thorough account of microaggressions that centers the experiences of those harmed by forms of injustice all too-common in health care. Freeman and Stewart demonstrate the nature of these harms and their impacts with precision and care and offer readers concrete strategies for reducing microaggressions in clinical practice. Microaggressions in Medicine is an invaluable tool for clinicians that skillfully weaves together theory, case studies, and tangible guidance on providing more just and equitable care. * Zena Sharman, Author of The Care We Dream Of: Liberatory and Transformative Approaches to LGBTQ+ Health, The Remedy: Queer and Trans Voices on Health and Health Care, Persistence: All Things Butch and Femme *Microaggressions are not only a vexing problem in daily interactions, but also appear in medical contexts where they can cause distress in patients, reduce adherence to medical advice, and even cause patients to avoid care altogether. Freeman and Stewart take readers through the medical impact of microaggressions on patients to the oft-ignored history of the concept and into the thick of debates about how to classify and understand these events. This is an important and insightful work that should be widely read, from medical professionals to diversity scholars. * Monnica Williams, Ph.D., ABPP, Professor, Canada Research Chair, School Psychology, University of Ottawa * Details ISBN0197652492 Author Lauren Freeman Series Bioethics for Social Justice Year 2024 ISBN-13 9780197652497 Format Paperback Country of Publication United States Publisher Oxford University Press Inc Imprint Oxford University Press Inc Place of Publication New York Alternative 9780197652480 Language English ISBN-10 0197652492 DEWEY 155.232 Audience Professional & Vocational AU Release Date 2024-04-07 Pages 312 Publication Date 2024-06-19 US Release Date 2024-06-19 UK Release Date 2024-06-19 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
