Written in a clear, accessible style, Health introduces students to
the valuable contribution sociologists have made to understanding
health, illness and disease. In so doing, it challenges the
adequacy of biomedical models, contrasting them with explanations
offered by positivist, interactionist, structuralist and feminist
sociologists. Aggleton, an experienced teacher, links the key
debates within the sociology of health and illness with their
implications for health care, and covers topics such as
complementary medicine and AIDS. Students are encouraged to
undertake suggested activities and are given guidance for further
reading to develop their understanding.
