*Need for
Change
Psychological problems do not exist on their own, nor do they come out of thin
air; they are connected to people’s social support, employment status,
housing conditions, history of discrimination, and overall personal and political power. [Therefore,] promoting
complete health means promoting social justice for there cannot be health in the absence of justice. (Prilleltensky, 1999, p.
99).
