As the field has developed, there is a growing need for a critical appraisal of the ideologies and theories underpinning health communication in order to ensure effective practice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book clearly situates health communication within its social context. It provides a critical overview of three key disciplinary areas - education, psychology and communication. Drawing on international examples throughout, the book challenges the underlying assumptions that drive the design and delivery of health promotion interventions. The authors argue that health communication is inherently political and pay close attention to issues of power, ethics and inequality throughout the text.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book will be valuable for those students at all levels who require a critical perspective, as well as practitioners in health communication and health promotion. With reference to detailed examples and annotated suggestions for further reading, the book is an accessible resource for analysing contemporary health communication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ruth Cross, Sam Davis, Ivy O'Neil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745697734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuth Cross\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Health Promotion at Leeds Beckett University \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSam Davis\u003c\/b\u003e is Senior Lecturer in Health Promotion at Leeds Beckett University \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIvy O'Neil\u003c\/b\u003e is former Principal Lecturer and Professional Lead for the Health Promotion team at Leeds Beckett University\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Polity Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40120017256563,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":31.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_4068a366-13bc-48ec-8538-c9ef6331dcab.jpg?v=1653662366","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/health-communication-theoretical-and-critical-perspectives-9780745697734","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
