Medical Work in America - Eliot Freidson - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Medical Work in America - Eliot Freidson - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Present-day health care policies in the United States are moving toward a system in which patients will be treated like industrial objects by doctors forced to work mechanically, says the distinguished medical sociologist Eliot Freidson in Medical Work in America. He offers a number of controversial proposals designed both to reduce costs and to avoid such dehumanization. In a series of essays that includes some of his classic work as well as significant new material, Freidson discusses the doctor-patient relationship, relations between physicians in various forms of medical practice, and the forces now reorganizing medical work. He shows how increasingly restrictive health insurance contracts insert a new, problematic element into both doctor-patient and colleague relations, and how bureaucratic methods of controlling medical decisions affect those relations. Finally, Freidson advances some basic principles to guide health care policy. He emphasizes that the physician's freedom to exercise discretion is essential if patients are to be treated as individuals rather than as administratively defined diagnostic categories. His recommendations include eliminating fee-for-service compensation, controlling health industry profits, and limiting the external administrative regulation of medical decisions while organizing medical work in such a way as to maximize effective and responsible self-governance.

Ground/work 2025 - - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Ground/work 2025 - - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

A showcase of sculptural works by contemporary artists from around the world In 2020, the Clark Art Institute opened Ground/Work, an exhibition of monumental sculptures by six women artists that were situated poetically in the bucolic Massachusetts landscape around the museum. Ground/Work 2025 reprises the premise, this time featuring commissioned works with a focus on global conceptions of craft: the means by which artists transform the world around them. Each of the six participating artists—Laura Ellen Bacon (b. 1976), Aboubakar Fofana (b. 1967), Hugh Hayden (b. 1983), Minela Naef (b. 1990), Javier Senosiain (b. 1948), and Yo Akiyama (b. 1953)—exemplifies the way that artisanal traditions can be reinvented, generating contemporary form and meaning. Their works employ a range of materials, including clay, willow, mosaic, stone, wood, and indigo dyeing. This handsome volume documents the exhibition, providing an in-depth look into the stories of the artworks’ creation. Four of the book’s essays are reflective texts on the Clark’s campus at different times of day: morning, afternoon, evening, and night, enlivened with beautiful photography of each object in the exhibition at these same times of day. Additionally, the book explores larger conversations around craft and making.

Sophie Whettnall (at) Work - Carine Fol - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Sophie Whettnall (at) Work - Carine Fol - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

This unconventional publication explores the process of making art through the work and studio practice of Sophie Whettnall (b. 1973), a contemporary Belgian artist whose works range from video art, installation, and performance to sculpture and drawing. In addition to copious illustrations of Whettnall’s artwork that highlight its relationship to the studio and the artist’s creative process, the book features three conversations. The first, between Whettnall and fellow artist Marina Abramovic, explores transmission, violence, and femininity. The second, between Emiliano Battista and Scott Samuelson, situates Whettnall’s work and practice in the broader context of contemporary art and the theoretical framework that shapes it. In the third, Carine Fol and Whettnall share with the reader the behind-the-scenes discussions and decisions that go into the mounting of an exhibition. Distributed for MercatorfondsExhibition Schedule:CENTRALE for contemporary art, Brussels (04/04/19–08/04/19)

Frame Work - Alison Wright - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Frame Work - Alison Wright - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

“My husband Jan finished me on 17 June 1439. . . . My age was 33 years.” So speaks Margaret van Eyck from the frame of her portrait. This painted inscription honors its maker Jan van Eyck, even as it blurs the distinction between living subject and painted double. Frame Work, an in-depth study of paintings, sculpture, and manuscript illumination in their varied social settings, argues that frames and framing devices are central to how Renaissance images operate. In a period of rapid cultural change, framing began to secure the very notion of an independent “artwork,” and reframings could regulate the meaning attached to works of art—a process that continues in the present day. Highlighting innovations in framing introduced by figures such as Donatello, Giovanni Bellini, and Jean Fouquet, this original book shows how the inventive character of Renaissance frames responds to broader sociopolitical and religious change. The frame emerges as a site of beauty, display, and persuasion, and as a mechanism of control.

Does Psychoanalysis Work? - Henry Bachrach - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Does Psychoanalysis Work? - Henry Bachrach - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

This important book is a thorough survey of every major study of the efficacy of psychoanalytic treatment. The authors—all well-known psychoanalysts—critically analyze the studies and their findings, discuss the issues that have been and should be explored in such studies, and examine the problems in conducting research into psychoanalytic outcomes. The authors begin by providing a definition of psychoanalysis, establishing central psychoanalytic goals, and determining what questions need to be addressed in assessing whether analysis is effective. They then describe their methods and criteria for evaluating modern research on psychoanalytic outcome and apply these criteria to four major studies of adult psychoanalytic patients, several studies of child and adolescent analysis, and some small-group studies. They find that all the studies show that psychoanalysis is an effective treatment for many patients—and that some cherished assumptions about psychoanalysis are probably wrong. In the final part of the book, the authors address the challenges of collecting empirical data on psychoanalysis and explore the possibilities inherent in the single-case study.

Europe Didn't Work - Dan Atkinson - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

Europe Didn't Work - Dan Atkinson - Bog - Yale University Press - Plusbog.dk

A timely and provocative account of why the euro has failed and why, as a result, the Union will unravel Examining key economic indicators and assessing the situation across Europe, two British journalists assess why the euro has failed—and what will happen when the European Union completely unravels. “This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about the future of Europe and progressive politics. Larry Elliott and Dan Atkinson correctly predicted the euro would prove a calamity. They are right today that the euro crisis is far from over. Their demand for a radical change of approach must be taken seriously—by policy makers and politicians alike.”—Ed Balls, UK Shadow Chancellor from 2011 to 2015 “[The book] offers useful insight into why so many people thought the euro was a good idea in the first place.”—Harvard Business Review
