Incisively written, this new edition of a popular guide first
published in 1996 slices through the rhetoric of health promotion.
Its penetrating analysis quickly reveals health promotion's
conceptual roots, providing an enlightening map of their web of
theory and practice.
David Seedhouse proves that health promotion, a discipline
intended to improve the health of a population, is
prejudiced--every plan and every project stems first from human
values--and argues that only by acknowledging this will a mature
discipline emerge. To help speed progress the author proposes a
positive, practical theory of health promotion destined to inspire
anyone who wishes to create better health.
This new edition includes three new chapters on conventional
health promotion, radical and foundational health promotion and
mental health promotion, providing examples of the use of
foundational health promotion. This new edition also adds five new
teaching exercises, incorporates and updates the guide for teachers
and lecturers and includes a new topical case study. This book is
laced with entertaining dialogues and readers are encouraged to
explore ten carefully presented exercises.
Educational, accessible and intelligent, "Health Promotion:
Philosophy, Prejudice and Practice," 2nd Edition is a seminal work
which heralds the beginning of the end of health promotion's long
adolescence. It is nothing less than essential reading for all
practitioners and students of health promotion.
