Health: The Foundations for Achievement

by David Seedhouse

Written by a philosopher closely involved in the design and creation of courses for health care professionals, this book poses two fundamental questions - What is health? and How can more health be achieved?. These questions form part of a continuing debate which is often characterised by confusion and ambiguity. This book, by viewing the debate from a novel perspective, clears away misunderstanding, clarifies the basic issues, explores different theories of health, and throws a gauntlet at the feet of those responsible for the organisation and delivery of health care.
