Health Promotion: Philosophy, Prejudice and Practice

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.

Practical Medical Ethics David Seedhouse The University of Liverpool, UK and Lisetta Lovett St George’s Hospital, Stafford, UK Creatively balancing philosophical theory with clinical needs, Practical Medical Ethics looks at medical decision-making from a remarkably fresh perspective. Concise, interactive and lively, the book offers a consistently applicable approach to problem solving in health care. A mix of clinically relevant cases, many of which illustrate commonplace ethical dilemmas, offers doctors and students a variety of ways to enhance their practical reasoning abilities. With the aid of two decision-making tools—the unique Ethical Grid and a complementary Algorithm—fifteen medical scenarios are analysed. Often more than one solution is put forward, at which point the reader is challenged by exercises to develop the strongest possible justification for his or her preference. This colourful and imaginative book is intended for use in the design of courses for medical and other health care professionals, but is equally useful for independent study and practice. Practical Medical Ethics provides new skills and insights with minimum fuss and invigorating originality, and will enhance the talents of all who care for health.

Health Promotion: Philosophy, Prejudice, and Practice

Buchanan, Ian

The author discusses a variety of theories on health promotion. He considers the complex realities of today's health care systems to assist practitioners and policymakers in understanding the issues involved, enabling them to design programs that are realistic and workable. Explains how to use logic and reasoning to bridge the gap between grandiose rhetoric and the implementation of useful strategies which can be applied in daily practice. Features ten carefully presented exercises.

Ethics: The Heart of Health Care - a classic ethics text in medical, health and nursing studies - is recommended around the globe for its straightforward introduction to ethical analysis. In this new edition David Seedhouse demonstrates tangibly and graphically how ethics and health care are inextricably bound together, and creates a firm theoretical basis for practical decision-making. He not only clarifies ethics but, with the aid of the acclaimed Ethical Grid, teaches an essential practical skill which can be productively applied in day-to-day health care.  This edition, which is even more readable than the first, includes additional case studies and teaching exercises, contains new material on ethical theory and offers two further decision-making tools - The Rings of Uncertainty and the Autonomy Test. The engaging new introduction reveals the genesis of the Ethical Grid, illuminates the intent and argument of the first edition, and explains why the book is needed today as much as ever.  Intended for all who work in health care or health studies - indeed for anyone with an interest in health issues - this is a highly original, innovative and accessible work on a subject traditionally regarded as lofty and obscure. It clarifies a wide variety of complex ethical issues and will give the reader fresh inspiration and renewed confidence in dealing with the demands of modern health work.
