Experiences of health and illness are fundamental to how we
understand ourselves, and the postmodern obsession with body image
has made health even more significant in identity formation. The
study of subjective experiences of health and illness can also
provide a challenge to traditional objective medical knowledge and,
given current healthcare interest in user involvement, can
highlight the need for change in health service provision.
This book explores the interplay between identity and health,
private and public, mind and body. Drawing on new material, and
using and exploring innovative biographical and narrative methods,
it covers a broad range of identities in relation to health and
illness, including race, religion, ethnicity, disability, age, body
image, sexuality and gender.
Identity and Health will be of great interest to academics,
researchers and students of sociology, medical anthropology, health
and psychology.
