| Abstract
|
:
|
The sociology of medicine has come a long way from its origins in epidemiologyand clinical practice. Like all specialist areas of study it has developed its owninternal debates, its preferred core of research topics, and its own professionalinfrastructure for their analysis. Over the years, there has been a shift from asociology in medicine to a sociology of medicine, and from a sociology ofmedicine, towards a sociology of health and illness. It is to the development ofthis latter perspective that the present volume is addressed.
