Synopsis

The term "health promotion" has come to refer to a movement which has been gathering momentum in the 1980s. The movement is a radical one which challenges the idea that health is just a "medical" issue, stresses its social and economic aspects and portrays health as having a central place in a flourishing human life. This interdisciplinary book provides an overall view of the health promotion movement, a justification of its aims, a value base for its practical activities and an account of its links with related fields of health care. The diverse academic backgrounds of the authors have contributed to this wide-ranging analysis. The book will be of value in the preparation and development of professionals in the many areas which are involved in health promotion, such as medicine, nursing, other health professions, social work, school and community education and community development.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The health promotion movement has gained ever more momentum in the 1990s, at international, national, and local levels. his updated and revised edition of a successful textbook reflects developments in philosophy, policy, planning, and practice since the turn of the decade. It contains new material, such as an account of who is involved in health promotion, more attention to the role of the mass media, and an expansion of the account of the role of the WHO. A new health promotion framework is built up on to the original one and there is a new chapter considering objections to health promotion.
