Preferred term

alternative health care  

Definition

  • The developed world has transformed from industrialized societies organized around the production of goods by machines into technocracies:societies organized around evolution through the development of sophisticated technologies and the global flow of information through these technologies. Thus, Davis-Floyd has labeled its dominant health care paradigm “the technocratic model of medicine” to highlight biomedicine's precise reflections of technocratic core values.
