| Abstract | "Theory of illness causation is an important issue in all biomedical sciences. Knowledge about illness causation is needed in order to develop therapeutic approaches in medicine and preventive interventions in public health. Until now, the literature about the theoretical underpinnings of illness causation research is scarce and lacking a convenient summary. This book provides a convenient and accessible distillation of the current status of research into this developing field, and adds a personal, systems-science-based flavour to the discussion about how to identify modifiable causes of illness"-- Provided by publisher. |
