Social medicine, starting two centuries ago, has shown that social conditions affect health and illness more than biology does, and social change affects the outcomes of health and illness more than health services do. Understanding and exposing sickness-generating structures in society helps us change them.This first book providing a critical introduction to social medicine sheds light on an increasingly important field. The authors draw on examples worldwide to show how principles based on solidarity and mutual aid have enabled people to participate collaboratively to construct health-promoting social conditions. The book offers vital information and analysis to enhance our understanding regarding the promotion of health through social and individual means; the micro-politics of medical encounters; the social determination of illness; the influences of racism, class, gender, and ethnicity on health; health and empire; and health praxis, reform, and sociomedical activism. Illustrations are included throughout the book to convey these key themes and important issues, as well as on Routledge’s webpage for the book, under the Support Materials tab.The authors offer compelling ways to understand and to change the social dimensions of health and health care. Students, teachers, practitioners, activists, policy makers, and people concerned about health and health care will value this book, which goes beyond the usual approaches of texts in public health, medical sociology, health economics, and health policy.
Politics of Medical Encounters
How Patients and Doctors Deal With Social Problems

The complaints that patients bring to their doctors often have roots in social issues that involve work, family life, gender roles and sexuality, aging, substance use; or other problems of nonmedical origin. In this book, physician/sociologist Howard Waitzkin examines interactions between patients and doctors to show how physicians’ focus on physical complaints often fails to address patients’ underlying concerns and also reinforces the societal problems that cause or aggravate these maladies. A progressive doctor-patient relationship, Waitzkin argues, fosters social change.Waitzkin provides a pathbreaking analysis of medical encounters, applying perspectives from structuralism, post-structuralism, and critical literary theory to transcripts of recorded conversations between doctors and patients. He demonstrates how doctors unintentionally maintain dominance in their dealings with patients, encourage conforming social behavior and attitudes, and marginalize patients’ concerns with social problems. Waitzkin urges physicians to attend to the social as well as the medical problems that emerge from patients’ narratives and suggests ways to restructure the manner in which patients and doctors communicate with each other. Physicians and patients, for example, should work together to demystify medical discourse, should refrain from medicalizing social problems through medications or reassurances that dull socially caused pain, and should be prepared to call on advocacy organizations seeking to change the social conditions that create personal distress.This book will influence and challenge physicians scholars, and students in the social sciences and humanities, as well as anyone concerned about the present problems and future direction of medicine.

Since the appearance of WaitzkinOs The Second Sickness, a landmark book of the 1980s, American medicine has been dramatically transformed. WaitzkinOs earlier edition used qualitative research to take readers inside the Oblack boxO of medical decisionmaking. This new, fully updated and expanded edition retains the earlier edition's vivid approach and adds timely analysis of how managed care and other economic and social forces influence medical practice today.

The recent financial meltdown has brought notable changes to the global practice of health care changes that have often escaped the American news media. Although Western managed-care corporations previously had strengthened their influence abroad, now many countries are considering new approaches to health care for their citizens.The untold story of how corporations have influenced global health care and the impacts now in America as the system rapidly shifts is Dr. Waitzkin s subject in his provocative new book. We now live in a new era in which the prospects for more humane approaches to health care are taking root. Strengthening access and improving public health are at the heart of the many previously little-noted struggles and actions by individuals, groups, and whole nations to put control back in the hands of patients and practitioners, as Americans of many political stripes seem to universally seek. The impacts of these changes in the United States are considerable, and they are amply illustrated by Dr. Waitzkin as the United States attempts to reorient its own system of care.Selected as the 2012 winner of the Freidson Outstanding Publication Award by the American Sociological Association for its "bold and timely analysis of the global political economy of contemporary crises in health and medical care. By presenting the lessons learned from social medicine (past and present), [it] outlines a macro-sociologically informed response to these crises.""

Health Care Under the Knife

“I’ve still got my health so what do I care?” goes a lyric in an old Cole Porter song. Most of us, in fact, assume we can’t live full lives, or take on life’s challenges, without also assuming that we’re basically healthy and will be for the foreseeable future. But these days, our health and well-being are sorted through an ever-expanding, profit-seeking financial complex that monitors, controls, and commodifies our very existence. Given that our access to competent, affordable health care grows more precarious each day, the arrival of Health Care Under the Knife could not be more timely. In this empowering book, noted health-care professionals, scholars, and activists—including editor Howard Waitzkin—impart their inside knowledge of the medical system: what’s wrong, how it got this way, and what we can do to heal it.The book is comprised of individual essays addressing the “medical industrial complex,” the impact of privatization and cutbacks under neoliberalism, the nature of health-care work, and the intersections between health care and imperialism, both historically and at present. We see how the health of our bodies in “developed” countries is tied to the health of the bodies of the labor force in the Global South, and how the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are linked strangely, inextricably, to our physical well-being. But this analysis would not be complete without the book’s final section, which delivers invaluable guidance for how to change this system. Recounting case studies and successful efforts for creating a more humane community, this book ultimately gives us hope that our health-care system can be rescued and made an integral part of a new and radically different society.

Welfare for a Humane Future
Moving Beyond the Welfare State of Racial Capitalism

Welfare for people in need always contains profound contradictions. Under capitalism, the welfare state reinforces exploitation and discrimination, yet working people have fought for welfare, which protects against the worst excesses of capitalism. Given the important benefits that welfare can provide, we need to consider the components of a post-capitalist welfare system, one that actually meets the needs of working people. A post-capitalist welfare system puts into practice the values of love, care, solidarity, and cooperation. Such principles are incompatible with the values of racial capitalism. So we work for a post-capitalist alternative. We trace the emphasis on love as a source of revolutionary motivation to key works by Karl Marx, Che Guevara, leaders of Back Lives Matter, and others trying to move beyond racial capitalism. A transformed welfare system depends on communities whose collective values nurture care and wellbeing. Communal institutions that provide welfare services are key. We analyse the eventual failures of historical utopian communities and also some strengths and limitations of communal institutions that have implemented welfare systems in 'actually existing' socialist countries. A transformation of values depends on a bottom-up aspiration, not imposed by a state apparatus. We examine three examples of communal governance linked to development of post-capitalist welfare systems: the Rojava revolution in northern Syria, the Bolivarian revolutionary process in Venezuela, and Cooperation Jackson in Mississippi. These examples provide illuminating details about the contrasting theoretical underpinnings, practical implementation of community-based institutions and governance, strengths and limitations of these approaches, and concrete details of welfare systems that move beyond racial capitalism and the capitalist welfare state. These examples all include the creation of 'solidarity economies' linked to community-based welfare systems that foster mutual aid and reject the inherently exploitative characteristics of racial capitalism. Local assemblies become the most direct means of confronting the capitalist state, usually at the level of the municipality. A transitional platform for post-capitalist welfare includes four key components: democratic control over public funds, community-based cooperatives and mutual aid, expanded access to housing, and promotion of community wellbeing. Within our communities today, existing institutions and organizations provide spaces relatively free from capitalist values. Institutions and organizations that emphasize justice and resistance often provide mutual aid that forms the basis of a post-capitalist welfare system. We explain what mutual aid actually entails, demonstrating the fundamental concepts and goals associated with it and what type of mutual aid these institutions and organizations can implement. Focusing on housing, health, and income maintenance, we analyse important examples of mutual aid and cooperative organizations that now provide these services. Such organizations allow those who use and support the services to exert influence over their management. Improved access to housing in Cooperation Jackson and similar efforts involving community land trusts, as well as cooperative housing schemes in Britain, show achievements fostered in post-capitalist systems. Community-based health initiatives in multiple countries and social contexts show the feasibility and advantages of providing such services outside public or private insurance programs. A post-capitalist welfare system is community-based and controlled by the community rather than the state. Communities establish welfare institutions based on mutual aid and cooperatives to help build a society rooted in love, care, solidarity, and dignity. As the creators of Cooperation Jackson advise, now is the time for 'building the future in the present.'
