Essential Readings In Health Psychology
Paperback Edition: 1
This book, a collection of key papers for students of health psychology, follows the structure of the same author's Health Psychology: A Textbook, which has made a major contribution to the teaching and study of this rapidly expanding discipline. This text has additional chapters on
methodology; the social context; behaviour and health; and health across the lifespan. Each chapter is introduced by a brief overview and contains papers, which have been chosen either for their theoretical importance or as good empirical indicators of a model.

The book draws mainly from psychological theories, but also includes those from related disciplines.
