Going Beyond the Rhetoric

The Movement of Critical Health Psychology towards Social Action

Emee Vida Estacio

City University London, UK, e.v.g.estacio{at}city.ac.uk

Health is a fundamental human right. Unfortunately the pursuit of good health remains a struggle for marginalized individuals/groups because of the rise of new centres of power. Hepworth (this issue) argues that critical health psychologists can contribute to the promotion of public health by moving towards ‘greater practice and action orientation’. Until we learn to become more actively involved in translating our research into practice, our efforts will only end up being done in vain. To pursue our humanitarian aims, CHP needs to move beyond the confines of its academic circle and begin to share its vision with a greater audience—society itself.

Key Words: critical health psychology • public health • social action
