Overview
In Lovers and Livers, Jacalyn Duffin introduces philosophical theories of disease and delves into the history of two distinct afflictions - one old, one new - that serve as examples to show how applying theory can uncover surprising aspects of the medical past and present. Written with humour and compassion, and using examples from Duffin's own clinical experience, Lovers and Livers is based on a series of public lectures incorporating audience participation along with a wide variety of sources including art, literature, medical journals, and newspapers.Book Details
