Health promotion and world peace: a developmental perspective.
To facilitate the inclusion of world peace as a health promotion issue, a theoretical framework is presented that describes a possible relationship between continued personal growth and development and world peace.  In this framework, personal health and growth are related to the evolution of human consciousness beyond the adult ego.  This personal growth is then viewed as a contribution to the multiple conditions necessary for world peace.  Consequently, world peace can be viewed as a personal health issue as well as a social and political issue.  So viewed, peace becomes a personal and professional concern in health promotion.
