Towards a Global Health Contribution for Critical Health Psychology

Some Comments on Hepworth

Malcolm MaClachlan

Trinity College, University of Dublin, Ireland, Malcolm.maclachlan{at}tcd.ie

The ability of critical health psychology to deliver on its implicit promise to link social and biological processes is compromised by: (1) a morally superior stance of being critical of rather than being critical for other disciplines; (2) insufficient pluralism in its concepts and methods; and (3) unwillingness to engage with more ‘distant’ disciplines that are salient to its goals; particularly economics, management and law. The global health movement offers critical health psychology an avenue to develop its project, especially in low-income countries, where a pragmatic approach to the interconnectedness of poor health and inequality is needed.

Key Words: critical health psychology • culture • developing countries • economics • global health • law • management • pluralism
