The Huli Response to Illness - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Frankel, Stephen (University of Wales College of Medicine)
Dr Frankel's study of the rapid transformation of traditional medical care among the Huli of New Guinea by Western treatments strikingly combines the methods of social anthropology and epidemiology. The study as a whole integrates material conventionally divided between anthropological and medical texts and powerfully demonstrates the limitations of this traditional separation.
