Reseña del libro "Second Opinion: An Introduction to Health Sociology"
Second Opinion, Sixth Edition, is an essential text for students of health sociology, introducing students to the theories, concepts, and contexts needed to understand the social origins of health and illness. The book covers various sociological theories and perspectives relevant to health, including: the social patterns in the distribution of health and illness, the social construction of health and illness, and the social organization of health care. Now fully updated, this sixth edition features new chapters on young people's health, the social determinants of obesity and health, and medical technology. Second Opinion encourages students to rethink their own pre-conceptions and adopt a second opinion about how health, illness, and the health care system are by-products of the way a society is organized.
