Abstract
Health Sociology, frequently referred to as the Sociology of Health or Medical Sociology, studies the impacts and influences of social factors and forces on health. Much Health Sociological work examines what it means to live when things in your life (maybe your body, maybe your mind, maybe your social network) begin to break down, and the consequences of that (Timmermans & Tietbohl 2018). Concepts that were developed and elaborated within Health Sociology, such as stigma and medicalization, have become important across the mental health sciences (Timmermans & Tietbohl 2018), and it is therefore perhaps not surprising that Health Sociology is now taught by and to a wide variety of health professional groups, including Mental Health Nurses. A key Sociological Concept that is often taught to Mental Health Nurses is the Sociological Imagination.
