Hepworth (2006) offers a timely and insightful review of critical health psychology. A pluralist health psychology can accommodate the interests and concerns of all psychologists working in the health field. Health inequalities are neglected by the mainstream and yet policy makers at national and international level are giving this a high priority. Also, ecological validity and replicability of mainstream quantitative studies are unacceptably low while qualitative studies are being increasingly utilized. Hepworth's passionate call to action is an appeal that no psychologist with a concern for human wellbeing can easily ignore
