| Summary |
"Bridging rhetorical and cultural studies of the gene and discourse-analytic studies of clinical interaction in medical sociology and health communication, this ethnographic and discursive case study of living with genetics highlights the communicative practices engaged by participants and professionals in genetics clinics as they collectively recombine diverse forms of knowledge to produce new understandings of health and self." "This book will be of special interest to scholars of health communication and medical sociology, healthcare practitioners, medical students, and critical and postmodern scholars of organization and discourse."--BOOK JACKET |
