Explore the evolution of medical sociology with ‘Sociological Theories of Health and Illness, 1st Edition’ from The Bookish Owl. This essential text traces the development of theory from the field’s origins to its current status as a vital sociological subdiscipline. It delves into contemporary theories crucial for understanding modern health and illness, while also grounding them in historical precedents and classical foundations from thinkers like Durkheim, Weber, Marx, Foucault, and Collins. Discover how macro and micro-level analyses, agency-structure dichotomies, and research methods inform studies on stress, gender, race, intersectionality, lifestyle, life course, medicalization, and social capital. This book is a comprehensive guide for students and researchers seeking to grasp the sociological perspectives shaping our understanding of health and illness today.
