「健康科学」への視角 --西ドイツの最近の研究状況の検討を通して--

Abstract

We examined the current situation of studies on health in Germany, especially medical anthropology by v. Weizsacker and v. Gebsattel, medical sociology, social medicine and general medicine in the faculties of medicine of German universities and the new tendency of physical medicine and rehabilitation. We speculated on the structure of healthscience based on the results obtained. Health should be researched not only by medicine as natural science, but also by human and social sciences like philosophy, sociology, psychology and cultural anthropology. We must then place great emphasis on rehabilitation and nursing in the field of practical medicine because these have always a direct relation to "totum humanum", the whole individual.
