Needed Research in Health and Medical Care - A Bio-social Approach

This book is a bold mapping out of areas of research that should be explored in detail by the medical and social sciences during coming decades. It is based on the belief that the extraordinary medical progress of the first half of this century, which proceeded largely from the laboratory and clinic, can be continued only if the medical sciences embrace the bio-social field of research.
