| Summary |
This new edition of a 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 health promotion and foundational health promotion, mental health promotion and examples of the use of foundational health promotion. This book is laced with entertaining dialogues and readers are encouraged to explore ten carefully presented exercises |
