社会建构论并不否认疾病实体的存在和其生物医学特性,而是基于disease和illness概念的区分,宣称疾病是社会建构的产物,强调疾病的历史、文化和社会维度,这与医学界转换生物医学模式的呼声彼此呼应。在医患矛盾突出和医患纠纷激增的背景下,社会建构主义视角中的疾病和医学社会学研究无疑叩开了修复医学技术与人文精神裂缝的大门,也促使学界重新思考中国医学的“现代化”。 Social constructivism does not deny the existence of the disease entity and its biomedical properties, but is based on the distinction between the concepts of disease and illness, claiming disease as a product of social construction, emphasizing the historical, cultural and social dimensions of the disease, The voice of medical models echo each other. In the background of the prominent contradiction between doctors and patients and the proliferation of doctor-patient disputes, the study of diseases and medical sociology in the perspective of social constructivism undoubtedly opened the door to the repair of the gap between medical technology and humanistic spirits and urged the academic community to rethink the “ modernization”.
