Content

In the name of a comprehensive perspective on health and illness, Markus Wiencke adds to the focused on individual perception and action a social and meaning-oriented perspective. Wiencke demonstrates how, using a model of "shared experience of sense", the social dimension of health is rooting in cultural settings, each with its own specialized resources and power structures.

Thus emerges something of a psychological anthropology of health promotion. In a comprehensive perspective on the health sciences between "individual" and "public health", developing a positioning within the framework of social practices and moral orders is a central aspect.
