ETIOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS ILLNESS CAUSATION THEORY (PB 2020) Paperback

The concept of what causes illness is a key topic across all biomedical sciences, as understanding these causes is essential for creating effective treatments in medicine and preventive strategies in public health. However, existing literature on the theoretical foundations of illness causation has been limited, scattered, and without a clear summary. This interdisciplinary book fills that gap by offering a concise and accessible overview of the current state of research in this evolving field. It also introduces the idea of the "etiological stance"—a comprehensive framework aimed at identifying modifiable factors that contribute to illness—bringing a personal and integrative perspective to the discussion.
