This lively, introductory text provides students and health
practitioners with the foundations of a sociological understanding
of health issues. Written for anyone who is interested in health
and disease in contemporary global society, this book engages the
reader to act upon their occupational and moral responsibilities.
It explains the key sociological theories and debates with humour
and imagination in a way that will encourage an inquisitive and
reflective approach on the part of any student who engages with the
text. With individual chapters covering sociology, health, science,
power, medicalisation, madness happiness, sex, violence and death,
Sociology and Health is organized so that the student moves through
sociological approaches and themes which constantly recur in the
experience of healthcare. Students will find this a readable and
controversial text which covers the ground they need to know in a
thought-provoking way. Lecturers will find it a helpful text for
generating discussion in tutorials and seminars. There are
summaries at the end of each chapter, suggestions for further
reading and ideas for the reader.
