`A Sociology of Health charts a way forward for a medical sociology
that can make a positive contribution to medical practice and
health policy' - Dr Michael Fitzpatrick, East London GP and author
of The Tyranny of Health `This is a very lively book that will
stimulate good debate amongst students undertaking sociology of
health courses in higher education' - Mathew Jones, Senior Lecturer
in Health and Social Policy, University of the West of England A
Sociology of Health offers an authoritative and up-to-date
introduction to the key issues, perspectives and debates within the
field of medical sociology. The book will aid readers'
understanding of how sociological approaches are crucial to
understanding the impact that health and illness have on the
behaviour, attitudes, beliefs, and practices, of an increasingly
health-aware population. The book is topical and unique in its
approach, combining commentary and analysis of classic debates in
medical sociology with contemporary issues in health care policy
and practice. The content is wide-ranging, including chapters on:
health scares, therapy culture, new dimensions of international
health, changes in health care organisation and the feminization of
health. Features such as case studies, questions for debate, and
further reading sections are used throughout to promote critical
reflection and further debate. A Sociology of Health offers readers
a fresh approach to the subject, and will be essential reading for
all undergraduate students on medical sociology and sociology of
health and illness courses, as well as postgraduate students in
related health and social care disciplines. David Wainwright is a
Senior Lecturer in the School for Health, University of Bath.
