Social History of Occupational Medicine and of Factory Health Services in the Federal Republic of Germany.
Abstract
There is no consensus as to the definition and theory of a social history of medicine in the Federal Republic of Germany. The relevant issues, methods and theories derive from different social sciences, and are still keenly debated. 1 Yet even at such an early stage of development, the available material merits review. The first beginnings of a theory can then be formulated, and this can be applied, tested and revised.
