Book Synopsis

The Psychology of Health and Illness is a thoroughly updated version of Leslie Frazierâs previous textbook on health psychology, which provides an engaging and contemporary approach to understanding health psychology from a truly international perspective. Combining both biopsychosocial and lifespan developmental perspectives, the book integrates core theory, research, and practice on global and cross-cultural health issues. It includes thoughtful and deliberately inclusive coverage of marginalized groups, especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and other underrepresented groups, designed to raise diversity- and racial- consciousness in a globally integrative way.

Alongside classic health psychology concepts, the author introduces students to cutting edge scientific and medical topics such as epigenetics, the gut microbiome and the non-medical use of prescription drugs. The book also focuses on global public health and health disparities and promotes a strengths-based approach to heal
