A sex clinic housed in a stately mansion in Weimar Berlin. A preventive health center in pre-NHS London. A radical institute of psychiatry and medical philosophy in a postwar French château. A feminist health center born from the women's liberation movement in Geneva. A grassroots research initiative featuring clinical trials run by and for people with AIDS in 1980s-90s New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach of these clinics emerged in response to seismic political shifts and era-defining global events, yet at their heart lie the stories of extraordinary individuals who dared to reimagine how we care for one another. At once deeply personal and sharply analytical, Benoît Loiseau's investigation is anchored in his own encounters with medical care and in the quiet influence of one health worker who shaped his life: his mother. In moving and reflective interludes addressed to her, Loiseau illuminates the emotional and ethical stakes of medicine today. Reframing Michel Foucault's seminal book, \u003ci\u003eThe Death of the Clinic\u003c\/i\u003e is a radical invitation to reimagine the clinic--not as a fixed institution but as a living, evolving practice rooted in care, resistance, and collective imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benoit Loiseau\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/29\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.1lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 5.70w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300283013","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48405779054729,"sku":"9780300283013","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_ae18ef02-16a3-4333-b850-f3335e2a3038.jpg?v=1790059077","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-death-of-the-clinic-radical-experiments-in-the-art-of-medicine-9780300283013","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
