Illness, be it physical, psychical, or spiritual, is defined not by physicians, psychiatrists, or spiritual leaders, but by culture.

MDHM 701 - Listening to the Symbolic Language of the Body 3 credits
The body has its own symbolic language. This means a communication from the self to the self often found in illness, ticks, hysterical conversions, muscle tightness, backaches, headaches, etc. The body often focuses the internal message, suppressed to the self by the psyche or the intellect. Various writers have attempted to understand this process for the sake of unraveling the meaning of illness. This course integrates a number of medical, spiritual, and psychological points of view. The course investigates the body-mind-spirit connection by turning to writers like Alexander Lowen, Daniel Goleman, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and Aame Siirala.

MDHM 705 - Philosophical Implications in Science and Medicine 3 credits
The intersection of medicine and science reflects culture, politics, and faith. Does it also intersect with two thousand years of Western philosophy? Or is the utopian Dream of a Theory of Everything epistemological jargon: The fragility of such an ambitious but ethereal theory encompasses a continuum of ideas traced from the era of Greek sages to the present postmodern times. To understand this enduring wisdom, the course presents diverse doctrine supporting the consilience of philosophy, science and the medical humanities. With this approach, we explore origins perceived by the minds and movements in the long history of ieas. The series of seminars emphasizes the correlation between classical studies and empiricism, encouraging scholars to probe thoughts and theories of established philosophies. However, beyond what is provided by an inquiring mind, participants are not required or expected to have a formal background in philosophy. The seminar features contributions of the Greek Godfathers of thought, Descartes’ Dualism, science of the Enlightenment, the challenging philosophy of Darwinism, the intellectual chaos of Freudian upheavals, American Pragmatism, Postmodernism in medicine, Existentialism, Feminism, and Sociobiology. Finally, a fixed Canon of the humanities is proposed to broaden and humanize medical education.

Topics may include health hazards of modern food production, behavioral intervention and the rise of obesity and diabetes, national healthcare vs. private insurance, vulnerable populations (e.g., the poor and the elderly), global health issues, disaster management, and rationing health care and vaccines.

MDHM 817 - Naturalistic Inquiry 3 credits
Naturalistic inquiry, a form of ethnography, is a qualitative research methodology as opposed to the hypothetico-deductive methodology prevalent in the exact sciences of today. The primary research instrument is the interviewer. Basic techniques include in-depth interviewing and prolonged observation within the natural setting of a group. The interviews and observations are recorded in a “thick description,” which stays close to the actual experience and avoids theory-laden language. This course will provide instruction in the techniques of naturalistic inquiry for designing the study collecting and analyzing data, validating the results, and writing up a case report. This is a hands-on course where each student will be required to conduct a naturalistic inquiry of his or her own. Ideally, the topic would relate to the student’s ultimate thesis or dissertation topic. The course will also provide instruction in using computerized tools to assist in data analysis.
