Meador (460 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Good. For years after graduating from medical school, Dr. Clifton K. Meador assumed that symptoms of the body, when obviously not imaginary, indicate a disease of the body - something to be treated with drugs, surgery, or other traditional means. But, over several decades, as he saw patients with clear symptoms but no discernable disease, he concluded that his own assumptions were too narrow and, indeed, that the underlying basis for much of clinical medicine was severely limited. Recounting a series of fascinating case studies, Meador shows in this book how he came to reject a strict adherence to the prevailing biomolecular model of disease and its separation of mind and body. He studied other theories and approaches - George Engel's biopsychosocial model of disease, Michael Balint's study of physicians as pharmacological agents - and adjusted his practice accordingly to treat what he called ""nondisease."" He had to retool, learn new and more in-depth interviewing and listening techniques, and undergo what Balint termed a ""slight but significant change in personality."" In chapters like ""The Woman Who Believed She Was a Man"" and ""The Diarrhea of Agnes,"" Meador reveals both the considerable harm that can result from wrong diagnoses of nonexistent diseases and the methods he developed to help patients with chronic symptoms not defined by a medical disease. Throughout the book, he recommends subsequent studies to test his observations, and he urges full application of the scientific method to the doctor-patient relationship, pointing out that few objective studies of these all-important interactions have ever been done.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. ECPA Christian Book Award Finalist - Faith and CultureChristianity Today Book of the Year Award, Politics and Public Life Common life in our society is in decline. Our communities are disintegrating, as the loss of meaningful work and the breakdown of the family leave us anxious and alone--indeed, half of all Americans report daily feelings of loneliness. Our public discourse is polarized and hateful. Ethnic minorities face systemic injustices and the ever-present fear of violence and deportation. Economic inequalities are widening.In this book, Jake Meador diagnoses our society's decline as the failure of a particular story we've told about ourselves: the story of modern liberalism. He shows us how that story has led to our collective loss of meaning, wonder, and good work, and then recovers each of these by grounding them in a different story--a story rooted in the deep tradition of the Christian faith.Our story doesn't have to end in loneliness and despair. There are reasons for hope--reasons grounded in a different, better story. In Search of the Common Good reclaims a vision of common life for our fractured times: a vision that doesn't depend on the destinies of our economies or our political institutions, but on our citizenship in a heavenly city. Only through that vision--and that citizenship--can we truly work together for the common good.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. God loves stories too That's the way he chose to communicate. Wonder why? As the Creator of the universe and having all available power, why does he tell us stories? Maybe because we all love stories. Stories make children of us all. Maybe because we remember stories. We forget dry facts, but when someone says, Let me tell you a story, all ears tune in. Maybe because he wants us to get the point. We participate in his stories. As we listen to them, we say things like, That's me. I feel that way. I've done that too.Whatever his reasons, God opens his heart to us in stories. They're called parables.…

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. What does a Christian political witness look like in our day? Politics ought to be defined by fidelity to the common good of all the members of society. But our modern Western politics are defined by a determination to bendthe natural world and human life to its own political and economic ends. This wholesale rejection of the natural order is behind the dominant revolutions in our history, and defines our experience in Western society today--our racialized hierarchy, modern industry, and the sexual revolution. In What Are Christians For?, Jake Meador lays out a proposal for a Christian politics rooted in the givenness and goodness of the created world. He is uninterested in the cultural wars that have so often characterized American Christianity. Instead, he casts a vision for an ordered society that rejects the late modern revolution at every turn and is rooted in the natural law tradition and the great Protestant confessions. Here is a political approach that is antiracist, anticapitalist, and profoundly pro-life. A truly Christian political witness, Meador argues, must attend closely to the natural world and renounce the metallic fantasies that have poisoned common life in America life for too long.…
