Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book follows the lives of three families that came to the 'Territory' of Papua and New Guinea. A Chinese family, a Dutch family and a British family. It describes the traumatic effects of the Japanese occupation isolating the Chinese family on a small island of the coast of Wewak for three years. Likewise, Soekarno's saber-rattling abruptly ended the idyllic lifestyle of a Dutch family in Merauke in Dutch New Guinea in 1962, causing them to flee to Port Moresby. They carved out a living building roads and airstrips in places like Misima and Bougainville. The British family disillusioned with their lives and careers in Peterborough looked for 'paradise' and found it in PNG working in education and experiencing the best and worst times. The result is a fascinating book about times in Papua and New Guinea that were exciting, full of challenges and situations that were tackled in a uniquely PNG way. Cultural aspects of the Asmat headhunters in Dutch New Guinea anda detailed analysis of Michael Rockefeller's disappearance in 1961, through life witnesses, adds spice to the story. We get a close up view of village life on Kairiru island near Wewak. The stories are set against a historical background. This helps explain attitudes and situations surrounding the three families at the time. It makes for fascinating reading. For those who have lived in Dutch New Guinea before annexation in the Indonesian Republic and Papua New Guinea before independence was granted this will bring back memories, good and bad.

Hardback. Condition: New. Narrative medicine is a fresh discipline of health care that helps patients and health professionals to tell and listen to the complex and unique stories of illness. The Principles and Practice of Narrative Medicine expresses the collective experience and discoveries of the originators of the field. Arising at Columbia University in 2000 from roots in the humanities and patient-centered care, narrative medicine draws patients, doctors, nurses, therapists, and health activists together to re-imagine a health care based on trust and trustworthiness, humility, and mutual recognition.Over a decade of education and research has crystallized the goals and methods of narrative medicine, leading to increasingly powerful means to improve the care that patients receive. The methods described in this book harness creativity and insight to help the professionals in being with patients, not just to diagnose and treat them but tobear witness to what they undergo. Narrative medicine training in literary theory, philosophy, narrative ethics, and the creative arts increases clinicians' capacity to perceive the turmoil and suffering borne by patients and to help them to cohere or endure the chaos of illness.Narrative medicine has achieved an international reputation and reach. Many health care settings adopt methods of narrative medicine in teaching and practice. Through the Master of Science in Narrative Medicine graduate program and health professions school curricula at Columbia University, more and more clinicians and scholars have obtained the rigorous training necessary to practice and teach narrative medicine. This text is offered to all who seek the opportunity for disciplined training in narrative medicine. By clearly articulating our principles and practice, this book provides the standards of the field for those who want to join us in seeking authenticity, recognition, affiliation, and justice in a narrative health care.…
