Summary/Abstract: Issues of health and disease have long ago crossed the boundaries of medicine and become the object of pedagogical, psychological, sociological and anthropological analyses. The following monograph, a multi-authored work with interdisciplinary implications, adopts primarily a pedagogical perspective and is divided into two essential parts. Part one relates to the psycho-social contexts of health and disease, presenting them from a subjective perspective and focusing on the individual. Part two contains references to a slightly more objectified aspect of health and disease and their cultural and structural contexts. The matters discussed in all of the articles are mutually complementary and show a complicated mosaic of issues concerning health and disease from many different, often multi-aspectual, points of view. Therefore, this publication is aimed at a wide audience of educationalists, teachers, sociologists, doctors and students of these disciplines.
