The medical and social sciences offer us many ways of understanding
the human body and what it can do. From biology and psychology to
sociology and philosophy, a range of disciplines supply us with a
rich yet challenging picture. On the one hand, our bodies are
fashioned from genes, cells and organs; on the other, they are the
foundation for our identities, our interactions and lived
experiences from childhood to old age.
This book provides an accessible and informative account of the
importance of the body for the caring professions. It offers a
clear description of the latest theoretical perspectives, weaving
the natural and social body into one. The book focuses on specific
aspects such as health and illness, ageing, gender and sexuality,
consumption, care, and medical technology.
The text is specifically tailored towards the needs of health
and social care students, with case studies directly relating to
concrete problems encountered by professionals in the field. The
Body is an invaluable textbook for students of the caring
professions and will bring to life the issues they face, both in
their studies and in their future work with patients, clients and
consumers.
