Abstract
Studying disease, the behavior of the ill person and of those with whom he communicates, the perceptions of and the reactions towards an acute or chronic disease is an important aspect of the field of medical sociology. The individual, as well as the social aspect of the disease and the behavior associated with it, are important for sociology. The present paper presents three classical sociological theoretical models - structural functionalism, symbolic interactionism and the conflict theory that provide opportunities for a systematic analysis when studying diseases from the sociological point of view.
