The Body in Health and Social Care

Beschreibung

The body is central to many of the concerns of public policy. Focusing on health and social care, this book shows how important the body can be to a range of issues such as disability, old age, sexuality, consumption, food and public space. Twigg shows how constructions of the body affect how we see different social groups and explores the significance of the body in the provision and delivery of care. Written in a lively and accessible style, the book offers fresh insights into classic areas of health, social care and society.
