La salute come bene comune sostenibile

In recent decades we have witnessed an acceleration of technological, scientific and cultural expansion that has radically transformed the scenarios of social life, generated important opportunities, but also introduced issues relating to the sustainability of the process itself. Even in the health sector, the developments in scientific and technological knowledge have brought about changes that do not include only the field of medicine, but involve ethical, social, economic and, obviously psychological, issues. Sustainability is a question that is transversal to contemporaneity which, in order to be addressed, requires the establishment of a transdisciplinary field of knowledge. In light of this scenario, the author proposes the reference to Health Psychology as the fundamental vertex of a transdisciplinary field of knowledge that contributes to the development of a model of health as a sustainable common good.
