Review of Cultural differences and medical care

Abstract

Reviews the book "Cultural Differences and Medical Care" by Lyle Saunders (1954). This volume, based on a sociologic study of the cultural pattern of the Spanish-speaking populations of the Southwest, attempts to analyze the barriers that limit their acceptance of modern health services and medical care. According to the reviewer, this book is well written and interesting but may well fail to reach many of the readers in the medical profession for whom it might be most valuable.
