Sinopsis

Most people are so familiaráwith the idea of professions that it would be hard to imagine life withoutáthem. And yet, the professions we know todayáare a relatively recentáinvention. Although physiotherapy may not have achieved the extraordinaryálevels of privilege and prestige enjoyed by medicine,áit still has three-quarters of a million respected and valued practitioners worldwide, and is, inámany ways, the model of a modern health profession.But physiotherapyáis also facing unprecedented challenges, and calls foráreform are now widespread.áGlobal healthcare is on theácusp of a cultural, economic, social, and technological revolution, and enteringáa new post-professional era. Physiotherapy will be affected in profoundly important ways in the coming years, but, to date, we have precious few tools to help us navigate the change.áThe story of howáphysiotherapy arrived here was the subject ofáTheáEnd of Physiotherapyá(Routledge, 2017).áPhysiotherapyáOtherwiseábuildsáon this work, bringing a century of social theory to our understanding of theáprofession.The book explores what theáprofessions are, what they do in society, whatâÇÖs good about them, and whatâÇÖsábad, and applies all of this to physiotherapyátoday.By taking the reader from ouráearliest sociological understandings of the professions to the cutting edge ofácontemporary thinking,áPhysiotherapyáOtherwiseáis both a primer onásociology and a critical course in a new way to understand our profession and our practice.
