Behaviour oriented health promotion has often relied on over-simplistic and over-deterministic models in which action emanates from individuals, not the social or economic structures they inhabit. Mainstream health psychology models are allied with official health ideology and policy, stressing self-control, self-regulation and responsible (low-cost) health citizenship. Discussion of psycho-political validity and of the use of a wider community of meanings and theories is welcome and moves beyond narrow disciplinary concerns by developing epistemological self-critique. Reflection and critique of psychology and its uses in public health is needed for theoretical and morally reasons and points to inseparability of psychology and politics.
以行为为导向的健康促进常常依赖于过于简单化和过度决定论的模式，在这些模式中，行动源自个体，而非他们所处的社会或经济结构。主流健康心理学模式与官方健康意识形态及政策相关联，强调自我控制、自我调节以及尽责（低成本）的健康公民身份。对心理政治有效性以及更广泛的意义和理论社群的运用进行讨论是值得欢迎的，它通过开展认识论的自我批判超越了狭隘的学科关注点。出于理论和道德原因，需要对心理学及其在公共卫生中的应用进行反思和批判，这表明心理学与政治是不可分割的。
