Product Description
Praise for Health and Disease: A Reader:
"An extremely useful book - covering a wide variety of health-related topics from several perspectives...makes available many of the research findings, ideas and analyses that influence current thinking and debates in the field of health and disease." - The British Journal of Medical Psychology
Health and disease have become major subjects for investigation, comment and debate. Health and Disease: A Reader is an interdisciplinary collection of articles which reflect the varied and sometimes controversial perspectives within these debates. Drawn from a wide range of sources, including the biomedical and social sciences, history, literature and lay accounts, these articles address all aspects of health and disease.
Health and Disease: A Reader is:
* the third edition of a best-selling and widely used textbook
* revised and updated, with a range of new articles
* a unique collection of articles, including extracts from 'classic' texts, specially commissioned articles and many articles which are often unavailable elsewhere
* grouped into seven key areas, with editorial introductions which provide a context and guide to the main themes, the articles and their authors
* the reader for Open University course U205 Health and Disease
* specifically designed with the needs of students and teachers in mind
* an essential teaching tool and resource
Health and Disease: A Reader will be essential reading for all students and teachers of health studies, nursing, medicine, social policy, social work and sociology. It will also be of interest to researchers in the natural and social sciences, health care professionals, policy makers and analysts, and anyone interested in health, disease and health care. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
Synopsis
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.
