Description

Self-Medication and Society examines the tension between public health authorities who promote self-medication for economic reasons and health professionals who warn of its dangers. This Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness volume investigates how autonomy is socially constructed within self-medication discourses. Drawing on fieldwork conducted in France, the author explores the material and cognitive dimensions of self-medication practices, revealing how individuals navigate conflicting medical authority and personal agency. The book challenges assumptions about patient autonomy whilst grounding analysis in real-world healthcare contexts, offering critical insights into how self-care intersects with professional expertise, public policy, and individual choice in modern medicine.

Key Features

Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Health and Illness series provides rigorous academic analysis of healthcare practices and social structures.

Field research conducted in France grounds theoretical arguments in empirical evidence of actual self-medication behaviours and decision-making.

Examines the competing discourses between public authorities advocating self-medication and health professionals expressing safety concerns.

Investigates how the concept of autonomy is constructed and promoted within self-medication practices and policy frameworks.

Explores material and cognitive dimensions of self-medication, connecting individual healthcare choices to broader social and economic systems.
