Om denne bog

The most comprehensive major academic textbook available on its topic, this classic text presents the most important research studies in the field. The author integrates engaging  first-person  accounts  from  patients,  physicians,  and  other  health  care  providers throughout the text. Since the book’s inception, its principal goal has been to introduce  students  to  the  field  of  medical  sociology  and  serve  as  a  reference  for  faculty by presenting the most current ideas, issues, concepts, themes, theories, and research  findings  in  the  field.  This 16th edition  is  heavily  revised,  with  updated  data  and important new additions.
