Book Synopsis Representations of Health, Illness and Handicap by : Ivana Marková
Book excerpt: The research described provides evidence that work needs to be carried out at the level of the community in bringing about changes in its representations of illness and handicap, since it would appear that working only through the mass media of communication is insufficient. "Representations of Health, Illness and Handicap" is a unique contribution of Health, Psychology and Social Science to an understanding of links between media images, lay representation of health issues and their implications for behaviour.
