Talking About Culture With Internationally Adoptive Parents
Parents who adopt internationally are commonly implored to expose their children to their “birth cultures.” While this celebration of origins is praiseworthy, the approach to “culture” that it typically involves is arguably problematic. This article discusses what anthropologists mean by culture and how this differs from the way culture is treated in international adoption. It then considers what medical anthropologists have learned through decad…

The Social Construction of Attachment, Attachment Disorders and Attachment Parenting in International Adoption Discourse and Parent Education

Elder Authority and the Situational Diagnosis of Diarrheal Disease as Normal Infant Development in Northeast Thailand
Research was conducted in rural Northeast Thailand to understand how mothers perceive children's acute illness episodes, and their resulting illness management strategies. Although diarrheal disease is one of the leading causes of illness among young children in Thailand, interviews revealed that mothers frequently do not classify infantile diarrhea as an “illness.” Infantile diarrhea is commonly labeled thai su, a type of diarrhea believed neces…
Local perceptions of dengue fever in northeast Thailand and their implications for adherence to prevention campaigns
The government of Thailand has invested heavily in community-based dengue fever prevention campaigns, yet community participation has been inadequate to prevent transmission. This ethnographic study explored local understandings of dengue in rural northeast Thailand, and their implications for adherence to government-initiated prevention measures centred around mosquito control. While community members recognised the most severe manifestation of …
Healing Herbs and Dangerous Doctors
In Northeast Thailand, khai mak mai (fruit fever) is a local, ethnomedical category of illness identified by community members as untreatable by biomedical health providers. The illness is believed to be incompatible with several substances that may induce death, including fruit as well as two forms of medication associated with biomedical care: injections and intravenous solution. Consequently, fevers suspected of being khai mak mai are treated …

Emerging fears of cervical cancer in Northeast Thailand
The rate of cervical cancer in Thailand is 28 cases per 100,000 women. However, interviews with women in Northeast Thailand revealed a perceived rate of nine to 16 cases per 100 women. What are the causes and consequences of this gross misperception of risk? When women experience a wide range of symptoms locally classified as mot luuk ('uterus') problems, they fear that these problems will ‘turn into’ cervical cancer, a perception inadvertently p…
