Wow! didn't expect that,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Paperback)
This book was required reading for a graduate Sociology course in Health and Medicine. This is an easy read full of interesting factoids and
generally good ideas. I didn't mind having to analyze it for class. Not what I expected, honestly :)

Perceptions of health and the human condition,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Medicalization of Society: On the Transformation of Human Conditions into Treatable Disorders (Paperback)
THE MEDICALIZATION OF SOCIETY: ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF HUMAN CONDITIONS INTO TREATABLE DISORDERS provides an overview of a field which recounts our love/hate relationship with the health professionals and the business side of health care systems, making for a complex analysis perfect for college-level health libraries and social science collections alike. Chapters build on over thirty years of research to explore trends in health care, treatment, and perceptions of health and the human condition, using common medical problems to consider their changing treatment and its implications for society as a whole.
