Most health professionals now practice in multicultural societies.
The influence of culture on illness, health and rehabilitation is
therefore very important.
"Culture and Health" considers the practical implications of
working with people from different cultures. It takes an explicitly
critical perspective to explore the many fascinating interplays
between culture and health, situating them within the broader
social contexts in which they arise. Written in an engaging and
accessible style, this second edition has been extensively revised
and updated, and now includes a chapter on Global Health. It
contains many helpful case studies and each chapter ends with
guidelines for professional practice.
Retaining a strong focus on the clinician's perspective,
"Culture and Health" is recommended for both students and qualified
practitioners alike. It is essential reading for practising
professionals and students of psychology, medicine, nursing, social
work, occupational therapy and physiotherapy. It is also a valuable
resource for health service managers and planners.
From reviews of the first edition:

cultural diversity"
--"British Medical Journal"
.,."health workers have a great deal to learn from this
volume...of great value and interest are the many illustrations of
health related cultural phenomena..."
--"British Journal of Health Psychology"
