New book chapter: ‘Contemporary Considerations on ‘Donna e Medicina Popolare,’ by Pina Cavallo Boggi (1981)’ by Lívia Mathias Simão
We present the contribution of Lívia Mathias Simão in the book ‘Humanity in Psychology: Theory and History in the Human and Social Sciences,’ published by Springer and organized by Pina Marsico and Luca Tateo.
The chapter is titled “Contemporary Considerations on ‘Donna e Medicina Popolare’ by Pina Cavallo Boggi (1981),” written by Senior Professor Lívia Mathias Simão from the Laboratory of Verbal Interaction and Knowledge Construction (LIVCC) at USP. The chapter focuses on women’s involvement in healing and care processes at the intersection of popular medicine and scientific medicine. The caregiver-patient relationship is then analyzed from a Gadamerian perspective as a means of restoring balance in the predications about illness and loss.
The book can be found on the official Springer website.
