Presents the essential elements of a cultural perspective through examination of health and illness-related behavior. Places disease and illness in holistic perspective. Explores specific issues in medical anthropology, such as the way various cultures conceive disease and illness, cross-cultural conflict in health care delivery, industrial and non-industrial approaches to therapeutic intervention, the relationship of disease and human evolution, and alternative approaches to the study of such issues. Assumes no previous study in anthropology, although this would be helpful.
