Explores the ways in which we sometimes attempt to bypass the dominant ideologies of health care in the medical institutions of our cultures. Case studies from India, the South Asian Diaspora, and Europe are used to understand the blurring of therapeutic boundaries. A combination of methodological expertise, basic research, and cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary acumen are used to dissect the study of medical pluralism.
