Description
Power is a concept central to public health practice. This book addresses for the first time, and in a practical way, how public health professionals can help their clients to gain power. It offers sound theoretical principles and practical solutions for transforming power relations to improve public health practice. It also introduces readers to a new methodology to plan, implement and evaluate empowering public health programmes. Illustrated throughout with international case study examples to demonstrate principles of an empowering professional practice, this lively text will be key reading for today's public health practitioners.
