About this ebook
This inspirational new text covers the basic principles of the
sociology of health and illness in an eminently readable way.
By creatively employing the fictitious character of Frank
Bennet, a new medical student, who cannot understand
why he has to attend so many sessions in sociology in order
to become a doctor, the book examines the most commonly
covered topics, brings together the basic principles and
research findings for each topic and then presents the stories
in such a way as to fit the current literature. It investigates the
relevance of sociology and considers a new direction - one
that nurtures and explores, making the topic more realistic,
useful and memorable.
It brings sociology to life and presents a highly practical
approach to the complexity of social reality in healthcare,
offering enlightening new ways for students, teachers and
healthcare professionals to engage in the sociology of health
and illness.
‘This book bridges the gap between theoretical sociology and
medical education, and presents us with a blueprint on how
to teach medical sociology within modern, problem-based
learning (PBL) medical education. It also contributes to the way
we teach a new generation of students - how to understand
patients in context, how to treat them with respect and,
ultimately, how to be a better medical doctor.’
Andrea Stöckl in her Foreword
