Critics of the clinical encounter in a market economy

Es una reflexión con perspectiva bioética e interdisciplinaria, sobre la necesidad de construir y aplicar teorías que superen el positivismo científico y replanteen los servicios clínicos y la práctica de los profesionales de la salud, con el fin de lograr la construcción de un encuentro clínico que privilegie el carácter simbólico, moral y político de la condición humana. Para explicar las características del encuentro clínico entre el profesional de la salud y el paciente, se presentan argumentos de carácter epistemológico, político y moral, derivados de la comprensión de la enfermedad en el modelo medicalizado y economía de mercado.
