Format:Paperback
This is one of those books that can shift perspectives and change one's attitudes to major issues. Lots has been written about Marmot's work and I won't repeat the main arguments here. Just to say that Marmot focuses on the often poorly understood world of the psycho-social - a world interrelated with but also different from the worlds of individual choice, genetic predisposition, and the incidence of disease. As someone working in the fields of psychotherapy and in community health, I really hope that this book and the results of other epidemiological research continues to develop and to have a meaningful impact on government policy.

Format:Hardcover
Michael Marmot's mastery of complex, multi-factorial epidemiological "puzzles" finds a crystal clear output in this revelatory book. Status Syndrome brings together many themes around the social determinants of health and makes clear for a broad readership (including opinion leaders in health and social policy!) why reducing social inequalities is so important for the health of populations.
I will certainly be recommending it for my public health trainees, and I hope professionals from many backgrounds with the potential to create a more cohesive, trustworthy and co-operative society will also read it.
