Content
The eighth edition of Health Psychology highlights health issues that face the college student and his or her family through both accessible research examples and profiles of interventions. It also highlights health issues relevant to the college student’s immediate and global environment with both accessible research examples and profiles of interventions. This edition contains clear descriptions on current research into the prevention, treatment, and causes (social, genetic, and biological) of health related disorders. Shorter text and more accessible design increase accessibility to students! Updated research and statistics throughout! A personal, dynamic writing style appeals to students of all ages and backgrounds. Complex issues and topics in health psychology are clearly explained and illustrated throughout the text Case Studies open each chapter and provide relevance of material The flexible organization does not over emphasize any particular theoretical emphasis Shelley E.
