The theories and social relations which produce this evidence are also responsible for the way in which the scholarly discourse on stress has developed: its search for context-free knowledge, its failure to critically analyze the role of cognition in pathogenesis, and its capacity for de-socializing the social determinants of sickness and people's perceptions of sickness. To make these points. I adopt a framework emphasizing (1) the importance of utility and context to knowledge producers, particularly the researchers' informants, and (2) the social determinants of scien- tific knowledge.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79261,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.

Treatment of illness will therefore be directed towards a restoration of both physiological and religious order in the patient.

Yet the differences are significant. This study shows how client perceptions of osteopathic physicians (D.O.s) and ordinary physicians (M.D.s) influence the utilization of health care services; thus it deals with interrelationships between characteristics of clients and of practitioners. The study of a small Michigan town where clients have approximately equal access to the two kinds of physicians is based on interviews with a random sample of residents. A substantial fraction of the clients say that they do not perceive any difference between D.O.s and M.D.s. Among those who do perceive a difference, M.D.s tend to be rated in the abstract more highly than D.O.s. Nevertheless, more clients utilize D.O.s than M.D.s, and relationships with D.O.s are longer in duration. Most clients <em>recognize</em> the widespread belief in exclusive legitimacy of M.D.s, even if it does not convince them. Yet despite the ideological dominance of M.D.s, clients pragmatically favor consultation with D.O.s.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":79261,"journal":{"name":"Social science & medicine.
