Product Description

Product Description

This is the sixth edition of an established and highly successful introduction to sociology for medical students and health professionals of all kinds. It will also be of value for sociology students. "Sociology as Applied to Medicine" introduces students to the social context of health and illness in an understandable and accessible way - a number of reviewers have commented on its lucid and jargon-free text. The curriculum in medical schools now lays more emphasis than in the past on the social context of medicine, making this book even more indispensable.

Format:Paperback
This revised and updated version of Sociology as Applied to Medicine promises a comprehensive readable introduction to medical sociology, and certainly does deliver. Its nineteen chapters cover topics ranging from the Doctor-Patient Relationship, through Health and Healthcare of Ethnic Minority Groups, to Organizing and Funding Health Care. Each one is meticulously referenced, covering both current journals and classic sociological texts. Important theories and studies are summarised, saving busy medical students the chore of trawling through the daunting original papers, and every paragraph is highly relevant. This is the ideal stand-alone companion to most current courses of medical sociology.

Format:Paperback
Good points:
+ *Very* well written - the authors are very litterate in explaining a topic that needs to be explained carefully in order not to be misunderstood.

Bad points:
- Can drag in places.

I recommend this book as well as the subject to anyone studying medicine. I found some things a real eye-opener - it really is applied sociology rather than theory, which I will use in my future career as a doctor.

Format:Paperback
A very readable and concise account. It covers all the relevant issues in the undergraduate medical course. This book takes the stress out of studying sociology in the medicine course as it does not overcomplicate anything. A great book and a great buy, I strongly recommend this for any one studying sociology as part of their course.
