内容説明・目次
内容説明
The 62 articles in this reader represent the varied and controversial perspectives of the contributors - including academic researchers in the natural and social sciences and health-care professionals. The book also includes extracts from several "classic" texts written on this subject in the 20th century, five specially-commissioned articles and many articles which are not easily accessible elsewhere. The editors have grouped the articles under seven headings: concepts of health, disease and healing; experiencing health and disease; influences on health and disease; the role of medicine; the social context of health care; health work; and prospects and speculations. Each section has a short introduction, which draws the reader's attention to common themes and sharp discontinuities.
