Summary:

In this book that combines health psychology with psychodynamics, the authors challenge some of the basic assumptions of the stress paradigm of illness, question the validity of some psychodynamic dogma, and begin to integrate psychodynamics and areas such as psychoneuroimmunology and social epidemiology. Contributors explore theory, application, and future research directions in such topics as interpersonal dependency and the onset and course of illness, fear of death, effects of writing about traumatic events and working through loss, and mortality following bereavement. /// This book is for a multidisciplinary audience, including mental health practitioners, physicians, and other medical professionals as well as researchers in the health and social sciences.
