Congratulations to Skin Deep participant and medical historian/philosopher Harry Quinn Schone on his new book, "Contested Illness In Context". Available at https://amzn.to/2OL1oYd

Here's a quote from the introduction..."We intuitively categorise disease according to certain predispositions, and when we encounter a phenomenon which contradicts these prejudices, a gap opens up between our expectations of disease and the condition itself, the thing before us. This gap creates a tension, a painful distance, but it is not purely theoretical. On the contrary, it is precisely in this space that harm occurs. This is found institutionally, in the form of welfare disputes or dismissals from employment; interpersonally in the breakdown of trust and respect in a marriage; psychologically in the self-doubt and depression of an ill person who lacks an approved way of deciphering the way they feel in their body. �
My thought is that whilst much attention has been given to both analysing concepts related to disease and to investigating the relationship between institutions and individuals of authority and patients, little focus has been granted philosophically to the ways in which we all - as friends, family members, colleagues, patients - contribute to and constitute the experience and meaning of disease."
