Synopsis
What is the goal of public health promotion today? If the leading causes of mortality are primarily attributable to lifestyle behaviours, is the purpose of research to develop the power to change those behaviours, in the same way that science has been able to control infectious diseases? Or is the quest for effective behaviour modification techniques antithetical to the idea of promoting well-being defined in terms of individual autonomy, dignity and integrity? An Ethic for Health Promotion explores these questions.

Review
"Personally, I enjoyed an eloquently presented discussion of the limitations of current behavioral theories that are used to guide health promotion practice. These theories were developed using very specific targeted outcomes for change, and may not be appropriate for changing behavior of populations of people without addressing critical human values that, in turn, impact society. This is a thoughtful and provocative book." --Doody's "An Ethic for Health Promotion has much to contribute to the field of health promotion.--Hastings Center Report
