Abstract

The article deals with concepts of disease in a historical perspective. The aim is to show that every medical concept of disease is based in a historically specific form on extra-medical ideas of human wealth and happiness. The focus is on the analysis of social consequences of concepts of disease and illness. The social interactions triggered by their attribution and the following social dynamics will be developed from the perspective of a disease concept in historical change using the example of 'lepra' as well as from the perspective of institutionalized inpatient health care in hospitals.
