Handbook of Health Psychology, 2nd Edition
Considered the most comprehensive handbook in the field, this rich resource reviews the biological, psychological, and social factors that affect health, health behavior, and illness.
The contributors review the latest theories and research, and illustrate how research is translated into clinical and community interventions to improve physical health and emotional well-being. Chapters examine health behavior processes in social context, including family, social, and cultural communities. The handbook cuts across concepts (e.g., behavior change), populations (e.g., women’s health), risk and protective factors (e.g., obesity), and diseases, making it appropriate for readers from various fields.
Featuring contributions from top researchers and rising stars, each author provides a theoretical foundation, evaluates the empirical evidence, and makes suggestions for future research, clinical practice, and/or policy. Novices to the field will appreciate the accessibly written chapters, while seasoned professionals will appreciate the book’s deep, cutting-edge coverage.
