BEYOND MEDICINE - WLODZIMIERZ PIATKOWSKI KARTON...

The rising popularity of unconventional treatment methods in Poland  not accepted by academic
medicine  prompted the author to describe and interpret the social causes of this phenomenon
and its diverse effects  as well as to forecast the future of such methods. These research
results are the outcome of an analysis of more than 3 500 letters sent to the Polish State TV
by viewers of a two-year-long series of programs offering unconventional psychotherapy. The
analysis of the material enabled sociological reconstruction of everyday lay thinking of
illness  health and medicine. The book also examined the relevance of classic socio-medical
theories for the study of health behaviors associated with treatments offered by healers.
