Description and Table of Contents
Description
Canada has an ageing population, a health-care system that has been largely defined by allopathic physicians (i.e. licensed medical doctors), hospital administrators, and government bureaucrats, and consequently an increasingly medicalized society. This second edition of Clarke's work on the sociology of health, illness and medicine, which includes extensive updating and three new chapters, emphasizes the change in Canadian society and how this affects Canadians' ideas about their own physical and emotional well-being. It is aimed at students of sociology, such as the sociology of health, health administration, social work, nursing and medical departments.
