The medical and social sciences offer us many ways of understanding the human body and what it can do. From biology and psychology to sociology and philosophy, a range of disciplines supply us with a rich yet often challenging picture. On the one hand, our bodies are fashioned from genes, cells and organs; on the other, they are the foundation for our identities, our interactions, and our lived experiences from childhood to old age.§This book provides an accessible and informative account of the importance of the body for the caring professions. It offers a clear description of the latest theoretical perspectives, weaving the natural and social body into one. The book focuses on specific aspects of embodiment such as health and illness, ageing, gender and sexuality, consumption, care, and medical technology.§The text is specifically tailored towards the needs of health and social care students, with case studies which directly relate to concrete problems encountered by professionals in the field. The Body is an invaluable textbook for students of the caring professions, and will bring to life the issues they face, both in their studies and in their future work with patients, clients and consumers.
