In organizing a session on the sociology of American medicine for the discipline's annual meeting in 1987, I was surprised to discover many papers that took fresh approaches to old topics, recast theories that had pervaded the field for 20 years, or mapped entirely new territory. The sociology of medicine, it appeared, was undergoing one of those generative periods when fresh gales blow through a specialty, uprooting old plants and bringing in new seed. For too long, it seemed to me, this large and fertile field had been working off old plantings, and further inquiry convinced me that younger scholars and a few established ones were doing more original work than one normally sees. This warranted special attention: a new body of work was being produced that drew upon and contributed to the discipline as a whole.
