Journal Article
L'homme-machine et l'homme-microcosme: l'approche occidentale et l'approche japonaise des soins médicaux
1980
Overview
Recent studies in epidemiology and the behavioural sciences demonstrate that environmental, social and psychological factors play a large role in the incidence of all types of diseases. This information along with new models derived from the pure sciences have called into question some of the premises upon which \"cosmopolitan\" medicine is based. The traditional East Asian medical model and the Western, bio-medical model are analysed and compared as products of their respective historical and cultural traditions. It is demonstrated that attitudes of both doctors and patients towards diagnosis, therapeutic goals, the sick role and the meaning of illness, among other factors, are profoundly modified by cultural context. It is suggested that in light of current epidemiological trends the biomedical model could be complemented by systems theory in which environmental, cultural, social and psychological variables are attributed as much consideration as biological factors.
