Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization explores the nature of contemporary
malaises, diseases, illnesses and psychosomatic syndromes, examining the manner in
which they are related to cultural pathologies of the social body. Multi-disciplinary
in approach, the book is concerned with questions of how these conditions are not
only manifest at the level of individual patients' bodies, but also how the social
'bodies politic' are related to the hegemony of reductive biomedical and individual-psychologistic
perspectives. Rejecting a reductive, biomedical and individualistic diagnosis of contemporary
problems of health and well-being, The Social Pathologies of Contemporary Civilization
contends that many such problems are to be understood in the light of radical changes
in social structures and institutions, extending to deep crises in our civilization
as a whole
