Medical Sociologists at Work - Hardcover

Críticas

-This book is a collection of personal career histories by twelve medical sociologists, including the editors. . . . The essays are engaging and absorbing accounts of the interweaving of personal and intellectual interests, individual circumstances, and opportunities, combining to produce both accidents and continuities in the work and careers of some of our most eminent medical sociologists. This alone makes the book well worth reading. The essays are also a rich source of qualitative materials on the careers of a select few in medical sociology, complementing statistical surveys of workers in the field. . . . Together, these materials provide a take-off point for a serious study of the emergence of medical sociology and its impact on health care institutions.- --John Colombotos, Contemporary Sociology "This book is a collection of personal career histories by twelve medical sociologists, including the editors. . . .
