ince its emergence as a distinct field of research, medical anthropology has
\nbeen guided by several theoretical perspectives, although their boundaries have
\nnot always been neatly delineated. There have been disagreements about what
\ntheoretical approaches are the leading ones at any point in time. In his book
\nSickness and Healing: An Anthropological Perspective, Robert Hahn (1995), for
\nexample, notes three dominant theoretical perspectives. Byron J. Good (1994),
\nin Medicine, Rationality, and Experience: An Anthropological Perspective, identifies
\nfour theoretical perspectives in medical anthropology: the empiricist paradigm,
\nthe cognitive paradigm, the “meaning centered” paradigm, and the
\ncritical paradigm. Finally, in Medical Anthropology in Ecological Perspective,
\nAnn McElroy and Patricia Townsend (1996) also discuss four approaches (medical
\necological theories, interpretive theories, political economy or critical theories,
\nand political ecological theories) but, as we can see, these are not quite
\nthe same as those cited by Good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
