Philosophical Foundations of Health Education

Abstract

Philosophical Foundations of Health Education is a powerful, thorough, and unique resource for health educators and especially for health education and promotion faculty. It contains previously published articles by leaders in the profession since the 1950s. The articles are grouped by the topics into six distinct parts. The book argues that all health professionals, new or old, need to develop their own personal philosophy about health and the profession and to use it to inform how they view and use the philosophies in their roles as professional health educators.
