“This new edition is a welcome arrival for all of us concerned with the issues of equality and inclusion in the field of medical sociology. It begins by providing us with a conceptual framework outlining the sociological perspective of health, healing and illness as it applies to Covid-19. Students especially appreciate the extensive coverage and inclusive language of race, socioeconomic status, gender, gender identity and sexual orientation that the authors give us throughout their examination. This new edition addresses the current challenges in the field, invoking critical analysis at every turn, while still addressing the core concerns for medical sociology.”Andrea Helzer, California State University, Long Beach
“Weiss and Copelton have done an outstanding job in their careful sociological framing of health and illness. This text is especially timely in incorporating discussion of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, this edition stands out for its in-depth focus on health care providers and medical education, examining the impacts of specialization, fragmentation, and policy changes. Readers will get a well-rounded introduction to the sociology of health and illness!”
