POLITICS OF MEDICAL ENCOUNTERS: HOW PATIENTS AND DOCTORS DEAL WITH SOCIAL PROBLEMS
Waitzkin, Howard B.
1993 18426 ABOUT THE BOOK Politics of Medical Encounters: How Patients and Doctors Deal with Social Problems FROM THE PUBLISHER In this book, physician/sociologist Howard Waitzkin examines interactions between patients and doctors to show how physicians' focus on physical complaints often fails to address patients' underlying concerns and also reinforces the societal problems that cause or aggravate these maladies. FROM THE CRITICS Booknews Waitzkin develops a theoretical and methodological approach to the study of medical encounters, describing a typical case in which the patient with physical problems mentions additional social problems, and the doctor responds only to the physical. He suggest that a network of "psychosocial" programs be available to treat the entire malady. Yale University Press 0-300-05511-0 / 9780300055115
