Opis

Conveys how medical people shape and organize the knowledge, perception, and experience of illness, as well as the substance of illness behavior, its management, and treatment. The authors believe that the understanding of specifically human rather than generally "animal" illness requires proper study of the social meanings surrounding illness.
