Travel and movement in the world outside the clinic
Gandhi and King
pp. 97-152
Abstract
In this chapter, we examine the work of "worldly clinicians"—those whose work directly helped change the world and, as a result, helped enhance well-being for a great number. We examine the work and respective movements of two worldly clinicians in particular: Gandhi and King. The task of this chapter is to elucidate some of the key methods and ideas of Gandhi, King, and the social movements of which they were a part, particularly as they relate to the intersections of well-being and the world. For case material, we will look at the early organic campaigns of Gandhi in South Africa and King in Montgomery. Overall, we aim to discover ways these movements helped initiated positive movement in social systems and individual lives.
