A manifesto for epistemological empowerment in chronic disease self care

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

In this chapter, I discuss the idea of patient empowerment in the context of chronic disease care. I discuss the concepts of knowledge, power, and action in relation to self care practices, and I introduce the notion of epistemological empowerment as a means of rethinking chronic care and, more generally, our healthcare systems.
