Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface and Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Medicalized Healing in East Africa -- Medical Discourses and Practices in Contemporary Japanese Religions -- Self-fashioning of the Hereditary Siddha Practitioner -- Ayurveda and Discursive Formations between Religion, Medicine and Embodiment -- Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) as a Toolkit for Secular Health-Care -- Crossing Fields -- Mapping the Boundaries between Science and Religion -- List of Authors
Summary: In modern societies the functional differentiation of medicine and religion is the predominant paradigm. Contemporary therapeutic practices and concepts in healing systems, such as Transpersonal Psychology, Ayurveda, as well as Buddhist and Anthroposophic medicine, however, are shaped by medical as well as religious or spiritual elements. This book investigates configurations of the entanglement between medicine, religion, and spirituality in Europe, Asia, North America, and Africa. How do political and legal conditions affect these healing systems? How do they relate to religious and scientific discourses? How do therapeutic practitioners position themselves between medicine and religion, and what is their appeal for patients?
