Publisher's Synopsis
This book is intended to acquaint the reader with some of the basic theories and concepts of medical sociology and their application to aspects of pharmaceutical service delivery. This book was written in response to the recognition that social science can contribute towards equipping pharmacists for practice in the 1990's and beyond. An inter-disciplinary approach was adopted to the preparation of this book. The topics covered are by no means exhaustive, rather those issues considered to be most important are addressed.
