Шаблон:Use dmy dates Cecil Helman (4 January 1944 – 15 June 2009) was a South African doctor, author, and medical anthropologist.[1][2][3][4][5] He published poetry, essays, and short stories, as well as academic books and papers.
Early life and education
Helman was born the son of a doctor in Cape Town, South Africa. His father was a psychiatrist for the South African government who would often take Helman to mental hospitals during summer breaks from school. He graduated from the University of Cape Town Medical School (1967). During the civil unrest as a result of apartheid in South Africa, Helman was disturbed by the idea of being conscripted into the South African army. Shortly after completing medical school he moved to Great Britain, where he studied social anthropology at University College London.[6]
Professional life
From 1973 till 2000, Helman was a family doctor[7] in London, working for the National Health Service. Helman was also Professor of Medical Anthropology at Brunel University, Uxbridge, England; and a senior lecturer in the Research Department of Primary Care & Population Health, University College London Medical School, where he taught courses on cross-cultural health care. He was a visiting fellow in social medicine and health policy at Harvard Medical School (1983); Hooker Distinguished Visiting Professor in the Department of Anthropology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada (1991); visiting professor in the Multicultural Health Program, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia (2001); and visiting professor in the Division of Family Medicine and Public Health & the Department of Social Anthropology, University of Cape Town, South Africa (2007).
Publications
Helman's writings focus on patients’ personal narratives and experience of ill-health and suffering,[8] as well as the roles played in medical care by social and cultural factors. Suburban Shaman, his 2006 memoir of medical school in apartheid South Africa, ship’s doctoring in the Mediterranean, family practice in London, and visits to traditional healers in different countries, was serialized by BBC Radio 4 as its ‘Book of the Week’ in March 2006. His textbook Culture, Health and Illness, first published in 1984, has been used in many countries. In his academic capacity, he also wrote articles in medical journals.[9]
