There is a fog that has been generated by corporate interests and organizations attempting to\u003cbr\u003esell their services and products to desperate or poorly educated consumers. \u003cem\u003ePropaganda in the Helping Professions\u003c\/em\u003e is a guide to lifting the confusion. From phrenology to institutional crib-beds for adult psychiatric patients, from Roman bird-beak masks to drugs designed to combat overurination, \u003cbr\u003ereaders are taken on a tour across the centuries of egregious practices of professionals and quacks including the present-day medicalization of our lives. The author, one of the field's most relentless critics of fads, phonies, and fallacies, shows readers how to think critically about both\u003cbr\u003eresearch and advertising in order to deliver effective services to clients and not be bamboozled by bogus claims about alleged problems, risks, and remedies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIncisive, interesting, eminently readable, and passionately argued, this book places responsibility for client well-being both on consumers--to raise questions--and on the professionals who claim to help them--to accurately answer them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Gambrill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/20\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 584\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.40w x 1.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195325003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEileen Gambrill, PhD\u003c\/strong\u003e, is Hutto Patterson Professor of Child and Family Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":39930754334835,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":101.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_9761afe0-a20d-407f-909f-cef027b8d02d.jpg?v=1647699121","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/propaganda-in-the-helping-professions-9780195325003","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
