Book Synopsis

Now in its third edition, Health Psychology offers the perfect introduction to this rapidly developing field. Clearly explaining the psychological processes that shape health-related behaviors, and affect core functions such as the immune and cardiovascular systems, it shows how these relationships provide the foundation for psychological interventions which can change cognition, perception and behavior, thereby improving health.

Divided into five parts, the book looks at the biological bases of health and illness, stress and health, coping resources, motivation and behaviour, and applied health psychology. The third edition has been revised to highlight:

Current research on the biological processes that underpin stress and illness.
How stress can be best managed at individual, organisational and community levels.
The ways people's beliefs and attitudes shape motivation and behaviour.
How health promotion can effectively change beliefs and attitudes t
