Challenging some of the preconceptions of ill-health of the biomedical approach, the book explores how health and illness is often shaped by factors such as culture, poverty, gender, and sexuality, and examines how these influences impact on the experience and treatment of physical and mental illness, as well as disability. Students are introduced to literature from disciplines other than psychology to provide multiple perspectives on these complex issues.
