Media Reviews
For a long time both practitioners and scholars have beenlooking for a really good text which writes about recent theory, explains it well and then goes on to examine its impact upon practice. With this book they might have found it! the contributors have not been timid - they have 'taken on' the complexities of social constructionisttheorising and have tackled a range of topical areas which are difficult and demanding - from cancer care to child abuse. But this is done in an accessible and readable manner and the various parts are thoughtfully and systematically put together . This book will be invaluable for students, for health practitioners and for their teachers - indeed,anyone concerned to gain a better understanding of the way health care - in its widest sense - is going. - Wendy Stainton Rogers (Open University) The editors and contributors shouldbe congratulated, as they have addressed an issue - the biopsychosocial model of health - that has great contemporary significance for health studies students. - Nursing Times
