This books describes how and why distant social influences, such as
socialization practices, interpersonal relationships, and social
organization, are often just as important as medical considerations
in determining an individual's tendency toward health or illness.
The essays describe some of the pathways through which these social
influences are exerted and also offer suggestions as to how these
influences can be swayed in the direction of good health. The
editors' broader aim is to stress the importance of social
psychological orientation as a useful conceptual tool for the
analysis of health and illness.
