The Handbook of the Sociology of Health, Illness & Healing
advances the understanding of medical sociology by identifying the
most important contemporary challenges to the field and suggesting
directions for future inquiry. The editors provide a blueprint for
guiding research and teaching agendas for the first quarter of the
21st century. In a series of essays, this volume offers a
systematic view of the critical questions that face our
understanding of the role of social forces in health, illness and
healing. It also provides an overall theoretical framework and asks
medical sociologists to consider the implications of taking on new
directions and approaches. Such issues may include the importance
of multiple levels of influences, the utility of dynamic, life
course approaches, the role of culture, the impact of social
networks, the importance of fundamental causes approaches, and the
influences of state structures and policy making.
