Description
Health Communication: A Critical Perspective This book provides a critical overview of health communication within its social context. It challenges the underlying assumptions that drive the design and delivery of health promotion interventions, highlighting issues of power, ethics and inequality. Drawing on international examples, the authors examine three key disciplinary areas - education, psychology and communication - to understand the complexities of health communication. With detailed analysis and annotated suggestions for further reading, this book is an accessible resource for analysing contemporary health communication. Valuable for students and practitioners alike, Health Communication: A Critical Perspective offers a nuanced understanding of this field, essential for effective practice in health promotion and communication.
