The Social Organization of Sports Medicine is the first book-length
overview of the social scientific study of sports medicine, drawing
together work from an international cadre of scholars who examine
and provide interdisciplinary analysis of the dynamic and
multi-faceted relationships between sports and medicine and within
sports medicine. The book charts changing perceptions of sport
within medical discourse, attempts by sports medicine providers to
forge professional identities in response to these processes, the
day-to-day experiences of deliverers of sports medicine and the
reactions of recipients of that healthcare. The contents are
organized in four sections, examining the competing and changing
ways in which sports medicine is conceived, the ways in which it is
organized, the ways in which it is practiced, and points of
contestation between traditional and alternative and emerging forms
of (sports) medicine. This collection of essays consolidates recent
advances in this area of study and establishes a basis for the
future development of the field.
