`There has been a pressing need for a book like this for some time. Gwyn
cogently reviews the literature on discourse analysis as it pertains to
medical and health matters. Introducing original research from his own studies
allows him to vividly illustrate just how important it is to understand the
role played by discourse. Students of health communication and the sociology
of health and illness will find this book integral to their studies' - Deborah
Lupton
In this book, Richard Gwyn demonstrates the centrality of discourse analysis
to an understanding of health and communication. Focusing on language and
communication issues he demonstrates that it is possible to observe and
analyze patterns in the ways in which health and illness are represented and
articulated by both health professionals and lay people.
Communicating Health and Illness:
Explores culturally validated notions of health and sickness and the
medicalization of illness.
Surveys media representations of health and illness
Considers the metaphoric nature of talk about illness
Contributes to the ongoing debate in relation to narrative based medicine.
