How do we choose  what do the treatments offer  and how do they cure? In Mudpacks and Prozac  Murphy Halliburton investigates the very different ways in which Ayurvedic  Western  and religious (Christian  Muslim  and Hindu) healing systems define psychiatric problems and cures. He describes peoples embodied experiences of therapies that range from soothing to frightening  and explores how enduring pleasure or pain affects healing. And through evocative portraits of patients in Kerala  Indiaa place of incredible cultural diversity that has become a Mecca for alternative medicineHalliburton shows how sociopolitical changes around the globe may be limiting the ways in which people seek and experience health care  with negative effects on our quality of health and quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45953232568373,"sku":"ByrdShop_1598743996","price":32.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781598743999.jpg?v=1788182429","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/mudpacks-and-prozac-9781598743999","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
