Please forgive the blatant self-promotion which follows.
I am happy to announce the arrival of the book "Social Issues in Diagnosis: An Introduction for Students and Clinicians," published by Johns Hopkins University Press, and just out last week. Kevin Dew and I have edited this book along with a fabulous team of contributors from three continents. The book introduces a range of social concepts of interest to both sociologists and clinicians, from medicalization and contested diagnoses to classification theory, diversity, lay diagnosis, commercial conflict of interest, the diagnostic process and much more. A 30% discount is available to members of this list. You can access it by going to the Johns Hopkins webpage (http://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/ecom/MasterServlet/JspHandler?pageName=BooksJsp&loggedIN=false&JavaScript=y) or phoning their toll-free number (US only 1-800-537-5487) and entering the code HNAF
Please pass this along to anyone you'd like, and give the book a "like" on its facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DiagnosisInContemporarySociety) to help spread the word.
Best regards
