This article suggests that there is an intimate relationship between sociocultural values and concepts of health (both positive and negative) in Spain; in other words, that medicine has social implications and is not simply a professional phenomenon. I take it that this general relationship is now accepted by most anthropologists. Its corollary—that those who are entrusted with resolving medical problems treat them with these social values in mind—is not, of course, necessarily true; nor is it my primary concern at this juncture
