Abstract

Among developed countries it is not the richest societies that have the best health, but those that have the smallest income differences between rich and poor. Why? This book shows that social cohesion is crucial to the quality of life.

Abstract

Morality and medicine are inextricably intertwined in rural Haiti, and both are shaped by the different local religious traditions, Christian and Vodoun, as well as by biomedical and folk medical practices. When people fall ill, they seek treatment not only from Western doctors but also from herbalists, religious healers and midwives. Dr Brodwin examines the situational logic, the pragmatic decisions, that guide people in making choices when they are faced with illness. He also explains the moral issues that arise in a society where suffering is associated with guilt, but where different, sometimes conflicting, ethical systems coexist. Moreover, he shows how in the crisis of illness people rework religious identities and are forced to address fundamental social and political problems.

Abstract

Health and the Sociology of Emotions offers an appraisal of the current lively debates which challenge the contribution of the sociology of emotions to health, and of the sociology of health and illness to a sociological understanding of emotions. This new book covers four main areas: Theory, Methodology, Social Constructionism, and Change. Developing viewpoints from theoretical studies, this volume raises a series of questions including: How does a sociology of emotions best theorise biological and social connections? What is the nature of the relationship between researcher and researched in a sociology of emotions? To what extent are these relationships exploitative or distorting of the emotions involved? How does an understanding of emotions contribute to analysis of social reproduction? In what ways does organisation change in health systems draw on or alter the emotions of those involved? Written in a clear and accessible style, Health and the Sociology of Emotions will appeal to sociologists and those involved in the delivery of health care.
