"The Sociology of Healthcare, Second Edition "explores the impact
of current social changes on health, illness and healthcare, and
provides an overview of the fundamental concerns in these areas.
This new edition features a brand new chapter entitled 'End of
Life' which will help health and social care workers to respond
with confidence to one of the most difficult and challenging areas
of care. The 'End of Life' chapter includes information on changing
attitudes to death, theories of death and dying, and palliative
care. All chapters have been thoroughly updated to address
diversity issues such as gender, ethnicity and disability. In
addition, expanded and updated chapters include 'Childhood and
Adolescence' and 'Health Inequalities'.
The text is further enhanced through the use of case studies
that relate theory to professional practice, and discussion
questions to aid understanding. Links to websites direct the reader
to further information on health, social wellbeing and government
policies. This book is essential reading for all students of
healthcare including nursing, medicine, midwifery and health
studies and for those studying healthcare as part of sociology,
social care and social policy degrees.
"In an age when health policy follows an individualist model of
"personal responsibility" this book by Alan Clarke demonstrates
with a vast array of evidence, just how much there is such a thing
as society. An excellent overall book."
