Wellness, Fairness, and Worthiness: Psychosocial Foundations for the Common Good

Professor Isaac Prilleltensky (University of Miami, USA)

Webinar 8 November 2022, 12 noon - 1.30pm AEDT

1.50 CPD Hours APS College CPD | Event number: 23329


While behavioral and health sciences have mainly been concerned with the private good, there is an urgent need to understand and foster the collective good. Without a coherent framework for the common good, it will be extremely difficult to prevent and manage crises such as pandemics, illness, climate change, poverty, discrimination, injustice, and inequality, all of which affect marginalized populations disproportionally. While frameworks for personal well-being abound in psychology, psychiatry and counselling, conceptualizations of collective well-being are scarce. Our search for foundations of the common good resulted in the identification of three psychosocial goods: wellness, fairness, and worthiness, which concurrently advance personal, relational, and collective value. They also represent basic human motivations, have considerable explanatory power, exist at multiple ecological levels, and have significant transformative potential. Prof Prilleltensky will use empirical evidence to show how justice leads to experiences of worthiness, which enhances wellness.
