Mortality, the Social Environment, Crime and ViolenceSociology of Health and Illness - Tập 20 Số 5 - Trang 578-597 - 1998
Richard G. Wilkinson, Ichiro Kawachi, Bruce P. Kennedy
Starting out from the relationship between income equality and indicators of
social cohesion and social trust, this paper explores the social processes which
might account for the relationship between greater income equality and lower
population mortality rates. We note that: homicide shows an even closer
relationship to income inequality than does mortality from all other causes
combined; there a... hiện toàn bộ
Epistemic asymmetries in psychotherapy interaction: therapists' practices for displaying access to clients' inner experiencesSociology of Health and Illness - Tập 38 Số 4 - Trang 645-661 - 2016
Elina Weiste, Liisa Voutilainen, Anssi Peräkylä

Accounts of health and illness: Dilemmas and representationsSociology of Health and Illness - Tập 18 Số 2 - Trang 220-240 - 1996

Simon J. Williams

issues have been a source of considerable debate for medical sociologists and
others concerned with promoting ‘healthier’ life‐styles over the years. Yet
despite a wealth of empirical material, there has been little attempt to
theorise this ... hiện toàn bộ
Sociology of diagnosis: a preliminary reviewSociology of Health and Illness - Tập 31 Số 2 - Trang 278-299 - 2009
Annemarie Jutel
AbstractDiagnoses are the classification tools of medicine, and are pivotal in
the ways medicine exerts its role in society. Their sociological study is
commonly subsumed under the rubrics of medicalisation, history of medicine and
theory of disease. Diagnosis is, however, a powerful social tool, with unique
features and impacts which deserve their own specific analysis. The process of
diagnosis p... hiện toàn bộ
