More about the course
The course starts with the development of medicine. It is clear that we now know much more than, say, 100 years ago.
It is also clear that medicine has developed mainly by looking at how our body functions.
This development also means that thinking about health in science is primarily linked to body functions.
We show that the old definition of health still follows this path, while we now know how important our mental component is.
How we feel, what our attitude to life is like, how we deal with acquaintances.
