5 Social Justice
Оглавление‘To love life is to risk it,
to live it fully
means being ready always
to lose it
giving it over entirely to solidarity.’
Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann (1933–2017)
Outline
There is substantial evidence linking poor social conditions with ill health. The explanations for this include material, behavioural and psychosocial factors. In this chapter we consider health inequalities in the context of social justice, the competing explanations and the role of health psychologists in creating a healthier society. The explanation of health inequalities creates many important challenges for theory and research in health psychology.
