This engaging and accessible reader takes a social problems
approach to health and medicine, providing a broad and critical
lens on contemporary health problems. Designed for courses on
social problems and on medical sociology, the volume embraces two
fundamental principles: that health and illness are at least partly
socially produced, and that health care is not an unfettered good
and often brings with it serious social problems. The volume is
organized into six sections, addressing the medicalization of human
problems; the social construction of health problems; social
movements; gender; race and class and the provision of health care;
and medical accountability. Taken together, the essays demonstrate
the depth and richness of a social problems approach to health and
medicine, and the critical perspective it brings to our
understanding of health and illness in U.S. society.
