内容説明

A study of the historical development of health services, institutions and occupations in health care, and wider public health policies, from 1500 to the present day. While focusing primarily on the United Kingdom, the book traces the interaction between European systems of health care and indigenous healing traditions in the former colonial territories of European states. The parallel development of health care systems in the USA is also considered. The relationship between formal and lay health care is an important theme, with prominence given to the role of women as health care providers. The book concludes with a comparative analysis of methods of providing health care around the world. "Caring for Health" is a revised and updated verion of the first edition published in 1985 by Open University Press. It is aimed at lay and professional healthcare workers with an interest in all aspects of health and healthcare, as well as students of the social sciences, medicine and nursing, social work and social policy.
