Critical Perspectives

A wide range of international contributions draw on theoretical
and empirical sources to explore whether alternatives exist to both
conceptualise and conduct research into what people do and
don?t do, in relation to their health and experiences of
illness.



  • Presents a collection of international contributions that
    complement, as well as critique, dominant conceptualisations of
    health behaviour

  • Includes a wide range of both theoretical perspectives and
    empirical cases

  • Reasserts the unique contribution social sciences can make to
    health research

  • Challenges assumptions about the usefulness of the concept of
    health behaviour

  • A timely publication given the rise of chronic and lifestyle
    diseases and the resulting changes in global health agendas
