The Social Transformation of American Medicine information


First edition

The Social Transformation of American Medicine is a book written by Paul Starr and published by Basic Books in 1982.[1] It won the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction[2] as well as the Bancroft Prize.[3]

Capers Jones wrote, "Paul Starr's book detailed the attempts of the American Medical Association to improve academic training of physicians, establish a canon of professional malpractice to weed out quacks, and to improve the professional status of physicians."[4]

According to Lester S. King, the book "offers illumnation and stimulation to physicians and laymen alike and can serve as a reference for scholars. It will give a deeper insight into medical sociology, whose importance to modern life is constantly expanding."[5]

A second edition with a new epilogue by Starr was published in 2017.
