520    From the first hospitals to pioneering pharmacy techniques,
       the early history of medicine reflects the groundbreaking 
       contributions of Islamic physicians and scientists. Less 
       recognized, however, is the impact of Islam on the health 
       and daily health practices of modern day Muslims. 
       Meticulously documented with current research sources and 
       relevant religious texts, Health and Well-Being in Islamic
       Societies sheds light on the relationships between Muslim 
       beliefs and physical, psychological, and social health. 
       Background chapters trace Muslim thought on health and 
       healing as it has evolved over the centuries to the 
       present. The authors provide even-handed comparisons with 
       Christianity as the two traditions approach medical and 
       ethical questions, and with Christian populations in terms
       of health outcomes, assuring coverage that is not only 
       objective but also empirically sound and clinically 
       useful. And as the concluding chapters show, understanding
       of these similarities and differences can lead to better 
       care for clients, cost-effective services for communities,
       and healthier Muslim populations in general. Included 
       among the book's topics: Muslim beliefs about health, 
       healing, and healthcare Similarities and differences 
       between Muslim and Christian health beliefs Impact of 
       religion on physical, mental, and community health in 
       Muslims Understanding how Islam influences health 
       Applications for clinical practice Implications for public
       health Cultural awareness is critical to improving both 
       individual client health and public health on a global 
       scale. Health and Well-Being in Islamic Societies is 
       essential reading for clinical and health psychologists, 
       psychiatrists, social workers, and nurses, and will be 
       informative for the general reader as well.
