In Mission and Method Ann La Berge shows how the French public
health movement developed within the socio-political context of the
Bourbon Restoration and July Monarchy, and within the context of
competing ideologies of liberalism, conservatism, socialism, and
statism. The dialectic between liberalism, whose leading exponent
was Villerme, and statism, the approach of Parent-Duchatelet,
characterized the movement and was reflected in the tension between
liberal and social medicine that permeated nineteenth-century
French medical discourse. Professor La Berge also challenges the
prevalent notion that the British were the leaders in the
nineteenth-century public health movement and set the model for
similar movements elsewhere. She argues that an active and
influential French public health movement antedated the British and
greatly influenced British public health leaders.
