This book critiques the way key normative conceptions of science in advanced capitalism both incite, and limit possibilities for, healthcare and render compassion itself prey to ideology. The author examines the concepts of health, knowing through science, and human subjectivity in relation to philosophical and psychoanalytic ideas.

Owen Dempsey is a medical doctor specialising in the care of marginalised communities including asylum seekers, refugees, and the homeless. Most recently he has focussed on substance and alcohol addiction in his work. He is also undertaking research into the practice and effects of EBM. He uses a discursive psycho-social approach to critique the effects of anticipatory diagnostic technologies through the relationship between Evidence Based Healthcare and capitalism.
