  An Introduction to Health Psychology presents theory through an appreciation of how society and culture impact in practice. It focuses on three broad themes:

  • Health, health behaviour and staying healthy
  • Becoming ill and using healthcare
  • Being ill and the impact on the individual and their families.

  The book covers all mainstream health psychology topics and also provides coverage of crucial contemporary issues such as cross-cultural dimensions of health and illness. Chapters are structured logically and explanation delivered with real clarity.

  This is the book that will engage and teach students in an entirely new way.
