- Synopsis
- In this book, Uta Gerhardt maintains that the sociological definition of deviance as disease has, at its roots, a political connotation. She traces how the four schools of mid- and late-twentieth century sociology have dealt with the idea of illness from structural functionalism through interactionism and phenomenology to conflict theory.
