Avec la collaboration de Jocelyne Saint-Arnaud L’ampleur des moyens utilisés par les institutions mandatées pour la prévention de la maladie et la promotion de la santé n’est pas sans soulever de multiples enjeux éthiques. Les valeurs favorisant le bien-être et le bien commun, la bienfaisance ou l’utilité, au nom desquelles sont mises en œuvre des interventions pour encourager de saines habitudes de vie, sont susceptibles d’entrer en conflit avec celles associées au respect de l’autonomie du citoyen, à la liberté de choix ou à la non-malfaisance. Éthique et santé publique présente aux scientifiques sociaux, aux éthiciens, mais surtout aux professionnels de la santé publique, un portrait d’ensemble des principaux enjeux éthiques qui découlent des potentielles dérives paternalistes, du mirage des certitudes épidémiologiques et de la raison instrumentale. Les valeurs en jeu à travers la communication du risque, la répartition du fardeau des interventions et de la recherche, l’étiquetage social des populations ciblées ou la moralisation des comportements à risque sont ici au cœur du sujet. Cet ouvrage propose un modèle d’analyse de ces enjeux fondé sur l’arbitrage d’une liste de valeurs phares présentées comme autant de balises définissant les justifications et les limites des interventions. Ce travail d'arbitrage devrait donc s'inscrire dans une éthique de la discussion ouverte à l’ensemble des acteurs sociaux concernés.

In the era of health democracy, where a patient’s right to be informed is not only widely advocated but also guaranteed by law, what is the real situation regarding patient information? Do patients receive the information that they request with regard to their diagnosis, prognosis or treatments? And what information do patients themselves give to their doctors? Drawing on observational research in hospitals and covering the exchanges between doctors and patients on the subject of cancer treatment and that of other pathologies, this book reveals that the practice of telling lies is widespread amongst parties on both sides of the medical relationship. With attention to the manner in which information of various types is withheld and the truth concealed on either side of the doctor-patient relationship, the author explores the boundaries between what is said and what is left unsaid, and between those who are given information and those who are lied to. Considering the misunderstandings that occur in the course of medical exchanges and the differences between the lies told by doctors and patients, An Anthropology of Lying: Information in the Doctor-Patient Relationship analyses the role of mendacity in the exercise of, and resistance to power. A fascinating study of the mechanisms at work and social conditions surrounding the accomplishment of lying in medical settings, this book casts fresh light on a subject that has so far been overlooked. As such, it will appeal not only to sociologists and anthropologists of health and medicine, but also to medical professionals.

Cancer is a transnational condition involving the unprecedented flow of health information, technologies, and people across national borders. Such movement raises questions about the nature of therapeutic citizenship, how and where structurally vulnerable populations obtain care, and the political geography of blame associated with this disease. This volume brings together cutting-edge anthropological research carried out across North and South America, Europe, Africa and Asia, representing low-, middle- and high-resource countries with a diversity of national health care systems. Contributors ethnographically map the varied nature of cancer experiences and articulate the multiplicity of meanings that survivorship, risk, charity and care entail. They explore institutional frameworks shaping local responses to cancer and underlying political forces and structural variables.

The question of the social treatment of the body and its transformations emerges in relation to issues of varying types (economic, therapeutic, ideological, cultural, aesthetic,commercial, technical). This book examines the various ways of managing bodily symptoms or transformations and the social stakes and systems of knowledge which relate to them, both on the medical and social level. The contributions provide analyses that concern a broad range of countries. Through the themes it tackles and the subjects it examines, this book reveals both the universal nature of the questions it asks, and the evolution of the objects and approaches of anthropology itself.
