Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, written by an experienced researcher, examines the evolution of sociological study on the practice of medicine. The author examines the formation of institutions that codified the practice of medicine in the 19th century when the efficacy of treatments became a matter of mounting concern. Also discussed is how the medical model shaped our understanding of treatment and illness, organizing the profession of healthcare, and viewing social and psychological illness. Using detailed case studies, the author argues that the medical paradigm is far from neutral, but rather plays a role in constructing illness and organizing perceptions of suffering and deviance. A pivotal work, this study contributes to our understanding of medicine, the sociology of knowledge, and systems of categorization.
