Nothing and Everything: Fibromyalgia as a Diagnosis of Exclusion and Inclusion
The diagnostic process promises a label that validates patients' embodied experiences and a road map for living with and treating illness.

The interviews reflect that the FM label is p…

Women and Cosmetic Breast Surgery: Weighing the Medical, Social, and Lifestyle Risks
In this article we provide a comparative analysis of qualitative, semistructured interviews with 24 women who had undergone different forms of cosmetic breast surgery (CBS).

In addition, we highlight the c…

We interviewed 21 childless women and 22 new mothers to explore their perceptions of choice and birthing. The women's interviews indicated that their birthing choices are reflective of tensio…
