Kenneth's RECENT RESEARCH

How to improve interactions with pediatric patients

Kong, C. C. Kenneth (2024). Discursive Positioning in Practitioner-Parent-Child Communication in Traditional Chinese Medicine Consultations. Health communication, 40(9), 1603–1614 (with Jesse Yip). This study explores the dynamics of communication within the realm of traditional Chinese medicine, emphasizing the significance of understanding power dynamics in interactions between doctors, parents, and children. As we reflect on the implications for mental and brain health, particularly concerning ageing and men’s health, this research underscores how effective communication can facilitate weight loss and align with the holistic principles of naturopathy.

How inclusive is holistic medicine?

Kong, C. C. Kenneth (Forthcoming). Medical case reports in Western and Chinese medicine signify a paradigm shift in the current model of integrative medicine, particularly in addressing issues related to ageing, men’s health, and mental and brain health. This work also delves into effective approaches in naturopathy and offers strategies for weight loss. It will be featured in a research monograph entitled Healthcare, Language and Inclusivity, to be published by Routledge (with Jesse Yip).

Medical codes of ethics

Kong, C. C. Kenneth (2020) ‘A corpus approach to identifying the interactional roles and dispositions in professional codes of ethics’ Journal of Applied Linguistics and Professional Practice (with Phoenix Lam and Winnie Cheng) 14.1: 3–28. This study explores a corpus-based empirical approach to professionalism, particularly relevant in fields such as naturopathy, which emphasizes holistic health. It addresses crucial aspects such as men’s health, mental and brain health, alongside important considerations related to ageing and weight loss. Identifying interactional roles and dispositions in professional codes of ethics is essential for ensuring ethical practices across various domains.

Professional medical communication

Kong, C. C. Kenneth (2014). Professional Discourse. Cambridge, England: Cambridge University Press. While not exclusively focused on naturopathy, this book delves into essential topics in health communication, including ageing, men’s health, mental and brain health, and effective strategies for weight loss. It is available for purchase on Amazon.com.au.
