This course examines health and illness in a social, cultural and historical context. The first part of the course focuses on physical or behavioural “symptoms” without any apparent organic aetiology (e.g. sick building syndrome), appearing in members of specific groups or localities (sociogenic illness). The second part of the course considers socio-cultural shaping and experience of other more prevalent disorders.
