This book offers a radically different perspective on the topic of
health inequity. Carey, Tai, and Griffiths use Perceptual Control
Theory (PCT) to deconstruct current approaches to understanding,
investigating, and addressing problems of health inequity. In the
book, the authors propose that health inequity is not a problem per
se. Disrupted control, they argue, is the problem that needs to be
addressed. From this perspective, research, policy, and health
practices directed at addressing health inequity in isolation will
offer only partial solutions to the problems created by disrupted
control. Addressing problems of disrupted control directly,
however, has the potential to entirely resolve issues that are
created by health inequity. The authors have extensive clinical and
research experience in a wide range of contexts, including:
cross-cultural settings; rural, remote, and underserved
communities; community mental health settings; prisons; schools;
and psychiatric wards. Drawing on these diverse experiences, the
authors describe how adopting a Perceptual Control Theory
perspective might offer promising new directions for researchers
and practitioners who have an interest in addressing issues of
inequity and social justice. With a Foreword written by Professor
Neil Gilbert this book will provide fresh insights for academics,
practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of public health,
psychology, social policy, and healthcare.
