The sociology of diagnosis
Hui
This article is the written account of a discussion between a group of indigenous women (trained both in Western and Indigenous knowledge systems), on the relevance of diagnosis in their conceptualisations of health and illness
Interpreting the Body
Past, present and imaginary
Diagnosis is a profoundly social phenomenon which, while putatively identifying disease entities, also provides insights into how societies understand and explain health, illness and deviance. In this paper, we explore how diagnosis becomes part of popular culture through its use in many non-clinical settings. From historical diagnosis of long-deceased public personalities to media diagnoses of prominent politicians and even diagnostic analysis o…
Animals, veterinarians and the sociology of diagnosis
While sociologists of medicine have focused their efforts on understanding human health, illness, and medicine, veterinary medical practice has not yet caught their attention in any sustained way. In this critical review article, we use insights from the sociology of diagnosis literature to explore veterinary practice, and aim to demonstrate the importance of animals to sociological understandings of health, illness and disease. As in human medic…
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is a pivotal tool for the work of medicine as they categorise and classify individual ailments via a generalised schema. However diagnosis is also a profoundly social act, which reflects society, its values and how it makes sense of illness and disease. Considering diagnosis critically, as well as practically, is an important job of the sociologist. This paper reviews how a social model can provide a critical tool for viewing diagnosis …
The expertness of his healer
Diagnosis is one of medicine's most important tools. It structures the relationship between patient and diagnostician, organises illness and provides access to resources. In this article, I reveal how the manner in which a serious diagnosis is revealed creates a kind of 'epistemic posture' reinforcing the power of medical knowledge, and contributing to medical authority. To achieve this, I explore historical material written by and for doctors ab…
Female sexual dysfunction
Female biological function has long figured as the focus of medicine. Sexuality and libido too have been included in this medical fixation. The drivers of medicalisation are increasingly positioned outside of medicine, issuing instead from the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries and from the patient-consumer, primed by these commercial entities to consider themselves in need of medical support. This chapter identifies the agents and actor…

Deal with It. Name It’
The moment a serious diagnosis is announced creates an important crisis for a patient, as it shifts their sense of self and of their future potential. This essay discusses the creative representation and use of this diagnostic moment in film narratives. Using Still Alice , A Late Quartet , Wit and Cléo from 5 to 7 as examples, we describe how each of these uses the diagnostic moment in relation to narrative construction and characterisation in re…

Beyond the Sociology of Diagnosis
The sociology of diagnosis offers a vantage point from which to study health and illness, linking a number of other threads of sociological thought. While there has been a growing interest in diagnosis since Mildred Blaxter's suggestion for a sociological exploration in 1978 – a call echoed by Brown in 1990 – it is timely to reflect upon the way in which sociologists engage with diagnosis. Within this review essay, I first consider what it is to …
Scp>Alzheimer's Disease
Diagnoses are more than pathophysiological facts. They are simultaneously the product of social negotiation and a social structure that will shape future engagement with health, illness, and normality. That is to say, even in the presence of a material physical dysfunction, extensive social interaction must occur before the condition is granted disease status, and, once such status is granted, other potential frames are discarded and the conditio…

Sociology of diagnosis
Diagnoses are the classification tools of medicine, and are pivotal in the ways medicine exerts its role in society. Their sociological study is commonly subsumed under the rubrics of medicalisation, history of medicine and theory of disease. Diagnosis is, however, a powerful social tool, with unique features and impacts which deserve their own specific analysis. The process of diagnosis provides the framework within which medicine operates, punc…

Weighing Health
This article explores how a contemporary fixation with body fat and its containment takes its origins in historical sources. Despite the fact that the thin body has not always been the coveted norm, strong cultural beliefs about the significance of appearance provide a foundation for the preoccupation with calorie-counting, body sculpting, exercise and diets. These practices are based on three important premises. First, in the range of senses, vi…

Olympic Road Cycling and National Identity
At the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympic Games, the tactics of German team riders reflected a commitment to professional rather than to national identity. This article explores how and why national identity in this event was subsumed by professional affiliations only to be reclaimed by the German press as evidence of national superiority. It also explores the application of a corporatist organizational model to explain the strength of commitment of ride…
