View through CrossRef
Sickness is defined as follows: The inability of individuals to pursue their goals and purposes because of impairments in functioning. Functional impairment may occur at any place from the molecular to the spiritual. This chapter explores the meaning of functioning and its relationship to personal activities and participation in society. It also discusses impairments in function, its distinction from disability, and physicians’ roles in returning patients to a functional status and a sense of well-being. Conceptual links between functioning and narrative structure are proposed.
