Notes
1. Patients and healers also addresses the issue of somatization, but Kleinman develops this topic much further in Kleinman (Citation1986).
2. Here, Kleinman was particularly influenced by Berger and Luckmann (Citation1967) and Schutz (Citation1970).
3. One common critique of the EM framework concerns the limits of asking people for their accounts of illness (cf. Young Citation1981). Yet Kleinman argues that it is insufficient for researchers to elicit EMs in interviews because EMs always lie at least partially outside of tacit awareness. Therefore, he suggests that it is important to observe EMs as they unfold in real-time clinical interactions. This aspect of his EM framework has often been overlooked.
