Summary:

"Health psychology is a specialty area that focuses on how biology, psychology, behavior, and social factors influence health and illness. Among other topics, it examines stress processes and health beliefs among healthy individuals; how individuals, couples, and families cope with pain or the diagnosis of a serious illness; what leads to better or worse adherence to treatment regimens; and how health cognitions, beliefs, and emotions shape health behaviors. Health psychologists embrace the biopsychosocial model or, more recently, a biopsychosociocultural model of health and illness, in which health and disease are conceptualized as having complex multifactorial determinants. This handbook is targeted to health psychologists, as well as scientists and practitioners in other subfields of psychology and professionals from complementary fields, including public health, medicine, nursing, and social work. The Volume 1 provides an overview of health psychology and an introduction to the primary topics and influences in the field. It serves as an introduction and general review, but also provides foundational material for Volumes 2 and 3. The volume is organized into five parts. Part I begins with an introduction and overview, as well as individual chapters on essential cross-cutting issues. Part II reviews research methods and related issues in the field. The final three sections follow the structure of the essential biopsychosocial framework of the field. Part III reviews biological bases of health psychology. Part IV presents psychological and behavioral bases of health psychology. Finally, Part V reviews social and cultural bases of health psychology." --Preface (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).
