About this Unit
In 2010 this unit replaced by 101723 - Mind, Body and Emotion. This unit introduces students to theories and methods in the study of the mind, body and emotions in social science. It employs the study of multi-disciplinary work from psychology, sociology and philosophy as ways of understanding the links, relationship and interactions between the self and society in illness, disability and health. This unit has special relevance for health and community workers, assisting them to develop their understanding of the dynamics and politics of health, illness and care.
