Sarah Nettleton's The Sociology of Health and Illness has become a
cornerstone text, popular with students and academics alike for its
rigorous and accessible overview of the field. Building on these
strengths, the fourth edition integrates fresh insights from the
current literature with the core tenets of traditional medical
sociology, providing students with a thorough grounding in the
sociology of health and illness. The text covers a diversity of
topics and draws on a wide range of analytic approaches, spanning
issues such as the social construction of medical knowledge, the
analysis of lay health beliefs, concepts of lifestyles and risk,
the experience of illness and the sociology of the body. It also
explores matters that are central to health policy, such as
professional-patient relationships, health inequalities and the
changing nature of health care work. A new chapter has been added,
on the sociology of mental health; other chapters have been updated
with illustrative examples and questions for discussion. Written
for students of the social sciences, this book will also appeal to
students taking vocational degrees, such as nursing, medicine and
public health, who require a sociological grounding in the area.
Thoroughly revised and fully updated, this fourth edition will
prove invaluable to anyone looking for a clear and engaging
introduction to contemporary debates within the sociology of health
and illness.
