Theoretical perspectives acknowledging the role of the fundamental interdependencies between individuals and the different contexts and relationships in which they are embedded call for an enlarged and multidimensional conceptualisation of health/well being, both in terms of domains and levels of analysis, and in terms of locating the analysis of the phenomenon and the interventions aimed at promoting health within specific settings. Such approaches are explicitly focused on the positive dimension of health and well being, by acknowledging the role of individual health as a ‘‘common good’’. This presentation will attempt to bring to the discussion this perspective on health and its implications for understanding health determinants and health promotion approaches, with a particular attention to the possible role and contribution of health psychologists in this process.

Abstract

Theoretical perspectives acknowledging the role of the fundamental interdependencies between individuals and the different contexts and relationships in which they are embedded call for an enlarged and multidimensional conceptualisation of health/well being, both in terms of domains and levels of analysis, and in terms of locating the analysis of the phenomenon and the interventions aimed at promoting health within specific settings. Such approaches are explicitly focused on the positive dimension of health and well being, by acknowledging the role of individual health as a ‘‘common good’’. This presentation will attempt to bring to the discussion this perspective on health and its implications for understanding health determinants and health promotion approaches, with a particular attention to the possible role and contribution of health psychologists in this process.
