What is Health and Healing in Eighteenth-Century Germany (The Henry E. Sigerist Series in the History of Medicine) about?

Although The Physicians And Surgeons Of Eighteenth-century Germany Have Attracted Previous Scholarly Inquiry, Little Is Known About Their Day-to-day Activities - And Even Less About The Ways In Which Those Activities Fit Into The Economic, Political, And Social Structures Of The Time. Opening With A Discussion Of The Interplay Of State And Society In The Independent German State Of Braunschweig-wolfenbuttel, Lindemann Explains How Medical Policy Was Made At All Levels. She Describes The Striking Array Of Healers Active In Eighteenth-century Society: From Physicians To All Those Consulted In Medical Situations - Friends And Neighbors, Executioners And Barber-surgeons, Bathmasters, Midwives, And Apothecaries. Lindemann Also Examines The Process Of Becoming A Patient And Explores The Effects Of The Social, Economic, Political, And Cultural Milieux On How Medicine Was Practiced In The Everyday World Of The Village, The Neighborhood, And The Town. Medicine, State, And Society -- The Physici -- Quacks, Bread-thieves, And Interlopers; Friends, Neighbors, And Kin -- Illness And Society -- Choices And Meanings. Mary Lindemann. Includes Bibliographical References (p. [459]-488) And Index.
