Social Justice and Medical Practice: Life History of a Physician of Social Medicine

By Merrill Singer and Rebecca Allen

Social Justice and Medical Practice examines the practice of social medicine through extensive life history interviews with a physician practicing the approach in marginalized communities. It presents a case example of social medicine in action, demonstrating how such a practice can be successfully pursued within the context of the existing structure of twenty-first century medicine. In examining the experience of a physician on the frontlines of reforming healthcare, the book critiques the restrictive nature of the dominant clinical model of medicine and argues for a radically expanded focus for modern day medical practice.
