National Trends in the Sociology of Health and Medicine since 1990

The results of the Content Analysis of the publications of sociologists from three countries are presented in this chapter. Here the reader will find descriptions of the kind of sociology produced in the various national contexts, and an analysis of their many similarities and differences. Some of the findings confirm the views and impressions offered by leading practitioners within the sociological community, but others challenge conventional notions and provide new information about the practice of sociology in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
