Medical Profession
Income inequality, welfare, class and health
Health inequalities
Scambler presents an interesting selective review of the health inequalities literature. I leave to others a critique of his explanatory model. I focus, rather, on his main point: that the basic social structural and political determinants of health inequalities have been neglected. Health inequalities in the developed nations require contextualisation. Today we are faced with a famine in East Africa, not the first, and, unfortunately I believe, …
Medical dominance then and now
The publication of Evan Willis’ notable book coincided with the appearance of similar Anglo-American accounts. Now, there are retrospectives on medical power. Why then and why now? Professional power was central because health care was the focus of political discussion at the time but is now less important vis-a-vis political struggles over neo-liberalism. Freidson played a key role in bringing medical power into focus. Medicine is also less soci…
Beyond the income inequality hypothesis
Population Health in Canada
An internationally influential model of population health was developed in Canada in the 1990s, shifting the research agenda beyond health care to the social and economic determinants of health. While agreeing that health has important social determinants, the authors believe that this model has serious shortcomings; they critique the model by focusing on its hidden assumptions. Assumptions about how knowledge is produced and an implicit interest…

Decline vs. retention of medical power through restratification
Though some argue that medical power is declining, others disagree. In particular, Freidson assets that medicine is being restratified with medical elites retaining control over health care though practitioners are losing their individual autonomy to these elites. We use the case of state‐medicine relationships in Ontario to examine the restratification thesis. Our findings indicate that the state partially controls medicine through restratificat…

Decline vs. retention of medical power through restratification
Towards a critical social science perspective on health promotion research
As part of our on-going efforts to formulate an alternative paradigm for health promotion research, we discuss an approach that we have called a 'critical social science perspective' (CSSP). This perspective consists of a set of 'reflexive' questions concerning the implicit assumptions and ideology underlying the research process, and the role of power, contradiction and dialectical relationships in theory and research practice. The paper briefly…
Professionalization and Proletarianization
Two separate theoretical streams touch on the fate of workers and their work, class and 'occupations and professions'. Analysis of the historical development of three interrelated occupations, medicine, nursing, and chiropractic, indicates that medicine is losing control over the health care division of labour. Whether or not one sees processes of proletarianization, however, depends upon whether one is examining a particular occupation or a set …

Job Alienation and Well-Being
This paper analyzes the relationships between alienation conceived as monotonous, repetitive work and alienation as job-worker incongruence to a variety of measures of worker as well-being among a population of workers from Victoria, British Columbia. The data show weak relationships between work perceived as monotonous and general psychological and physical well-being and between alienation as job-worker incongruence and health. While weak in va…
Objective and subjective socioeconomic status
In this sample of working men, the intercorrelations of education, occupation, and income are found to be moderate to fairly high. The relationships are also, in general, monotonic except that skilled manual workers tend to earn higher incomes than do white‐collar clerical and sales workers. Despite the income variations however, the largest differences in subjective class identification are those separating manual from nonmanual workers. The imp…

Job-Worker Incongruence
This paper examines the consequences for a man's health of work which is perceived as excessively complex or excessively simple (job incongruence). Among a group of Canadian working men, excessively complex work is not disliked but is associated with lower mental and physical health. In addition to being disliked, overly simple work shows similar psychological but much less evident physical effects. The influence of job incongruence on physical h…
