Lennart Nordenfelt and I have a small book (three essays) on distinctions
among Disease, Illness and Sickness.  It was put out by the theme
department on health at Linkopings Universitet in Sweden in 1994.  It may
be a bit abstruse for undergraduates, but I'd be interested in feedback.
	I think the book is free and can be ordered from:
		Tema H
		Universitet i Linkoping
		S-581 83 Linkoping
		Sweden
	The title is DISEASE, ILLNESS AND SICKNESS:  THREE CENTRAL
CONCEPTS IN THE THEORY OF HEALTH.  It consists of an essay by me, a
critical response from Nordenfelt ( a Philosopher) and a response from me.
