About this title

Synopsis

How do we understand health in relation to society? What role do social processes, structures and culture play in shaping our experiences of health and illness? How do we understand medicine and healthcare within a sociological framework?

Drawing on international literature and examples, this new edition of Key Concepts in Medical Sociology:

� Systematically explains the concepts that have preoccupied medical sociology from its inception, and which have shaped the field as it exists today.

� Includes new entries, such as pandemics and epidemics, the environment, intersectionality, pharmaceuticalization, medical tourism and sexuality.

� Begins each entry with a definition of the concept then examines its origins, development, strengths and weaknesses, and concludes with suggested further reading for independent learning.

Key Concepts in Medical Sociology is essential reading for students in medical sociology as well as those undertaking professional training in health-related disciplines.
