Descripción
Sumario:"Not only examines the present state of health psychology but also provides the reader with an exciting glimpse of its future. The differences between the biomedical and the biopsychosocial model are precisely illustrated and powerful evidence is given to demonstrate the urgent need for a change of models in order to cope with the psychological health changes of the 21st century. Without relinquishing the significance of experimental or theoretical work, it focuses on the practice of health psychology. Along with actual case studies, the summaries and discussion questions at the end of each chapter make the material both enjoyable and meaningful. "
