The medical establishment has become a major threat to health'. So begins Ivan Illich's spirited and reasoned attack upon the mythic prestige of contemporary medicines, examining the customs and rituals conducted by the medical profession. Relentlessly and with full documentation taken from recognized medical sources Illich proves the impotence of medical services to change life expectancy, the insignificance of most clinical care in curing disease, the magnitude of medically inflicted damage to health, and the futility of medical and political counter measures.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ivan Illich

Ivan Illich nasceu em Viena, em 1926.
O caminho de Illich para a liberdade confunde-se, a partir de certa altura, com a América Latina, e o México em particular, onde fundou o célebre centro de investigação CIDOC (Centro Intercultural de Documentação).
A sua obra rompe com todos os modelos do pensamento académico.
Não recusando em princípio posições formais na academia, Illich procurou sempre integrar a comunidade de sentido e de sentidos que ele julgava ser o seu lugar natural.
Sobre a nossa época, escreveu que «os projetos do crescimento económico tombam rapidamente em ruínas e nós deveremos aprender a viver no meio dos seus detritos.»
