In every case we’ve tried to provide a brief summary of the resource, a follow-up link, and a few working examples.

With one or two exceptions, we’ve stayed away from physio-specific resources, and we have no financial or other interest in any of the products and services that we’ve recommended here.

Health: An interdisciplinary journal

Health: is published six times per year and attempts in each number to offer a mix of articles that inform or that provoke debate. The readership of the journal is wide and drawn from different disciplines and from workers both inside and outside the health care professions. Widely abstracted, Health: ensures authors an extensive and informed readership for their work.

Annemarie Mol

Annmarie Mol is a Dutch philosopher and ethnographer. Her research addresses multiplicity of objects, care practices, and topologies. Her work on The Body Multiple draws on ethnography of ordinary disease and argues that bodies are manipulated through various practices, people and apparatuses. Mol reminds us that we not only ‘have’ and ‘are’ our bodies, but also ‘do’ our bodies through enacting, performing, staging. In The Logic of Care, another interesting study for physiotherapists, Mol argues that ‘good care’ has little to do with ‘patient choice’ and thus treating people as ‘customers’ undermines the ways of thinking and acting that are crucial to healthcare. Instead on the ‘logic of choice’, Mol argues for a ‘logic of care’ that involves continuous attempts to attune knowledge and technologies to the complex lives of bodies in healthcare.
