M J de Mallac

Hansen's Disease: The Shared Paradigm

Publisher: The Book Guild Ltd
Date: 2001

Adapted from Press Release: This book is the culmination of a lifetime's experience working with the victims of this mysterious disease. MJ de Mallac's argument, set out in a series of dialogues, is that only a radical and shared change of attitude by all concerned will bring about the advances in care and opportunity that have so far been denied. The author argues that the patient should not be shunted off into oblivion, as had happened in the past, and that the discovery, and subsequent research, of the pathogenic agent responsible for the spread and virulence of the disease should be taken much further. Wide ranging in its sources and uncompromising in its assertions, this book provokes discussion on a wider level.
