Conference: The concepts of health and illness

Carel, H. and Cooper, R. (2010) Conference: The concepts of health and illness. UNSPECIFIED. Documents Information Conference: The Concepts of Health and Illness (222Kb) Untitled (654Kb) Creators: Carel, H. and Cooper, R. Abstract: Over the past three decades, various accounts of health, illness and disease have been proposed by researchers from history, sociology, law, philosophy, public health and economics. Often, however, proponents of various accounts have been isolated within their own discipline with an apparent unawareness of competing accounts. As a result, while there are now a number of different accounts of health, illness and disease available, there is no consensus about which, if any, of these accounts is ultimately acceptable and what implications each account may have. This three-day international conference explored differences and overlaps between these different accounts. The conference aims to bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to create dialogue between them, as well as between researchers and healthcare practitioners, on the concepts of health, illness and disease. The conference proceedings will be published as an edited volume with Acumen.
