The second edition of Health Psychology is substantially revised and updated to reflect key developments and the latest research in this rapidly expanding discipline. With 31 chapters written by leading international health psychologists, the text provides a high-quality and up-to-date overview of current Health Psychology science and practice, presented in an organised and engaging format. The chapters of this new edition are explicitly structured around the Stage 1 curriculum of the British Psychological Societyâ s Division of Health Psychology, offering the equivalent level to a Health Psychology masters degree. The text provides students with a critical, thought-provoking introduction to the subject, clearly outlining the major areas of theory and research. Each chapter is authored by a leading expert in the subject and can stand alone as a complete overview of a particular area. Taken together, the chapters provide a cohesive and integrated look at this important field.
"This is another in the excellent series of textbooks produced by Blackwell and deals in this case with a relatively new field that studies psychological processes in health, illness and healthcare." (Scientific and Medical Network Review, Summer 2005)"This book by leading health psychology researchers is an essential text for graduate students and an invaluable reference work for researchers in the field."
--Professor Keith J Petrie, The University of Auckland, New Zealand

"Health Psychology offers a well-structured, state-of-the-art overview of the major theoretical, empirical, and practical issues, written by leading international experts.

"Written by a team of internationally known writers and researchers in the field, this book stands out from other textbooks of health psychology.

This is a timely and welcome contribution to the discipline."
--Sandra Horn, School of Psychology, University of Southampton
"This volume constitutes a major step forward in the development of health psychology as a science and as a professional discipline by giving an up to date and thorough overview of the field, often with a refreshing European flavour. It offers a number of useful features like mentioning key studies for a certain area and proposing 'discussion points'."

"This comprehensive collection provides an authoritative overview of current thinking in health psychology research. A team of leading and predominantly European researchers map out the state of the science in an accessible and informative style."
--Prof Charles Abraham, Department of Psychology, University of Sussex
"Health Psychology is another very good textbook that has much to offer those with an interest in health psychology ... The content is densely packed, but the 'Chaper Outline' and 'Key Concepts' at the beginning of each chapter ensure that finding particular information is quick and easy ... The book has a contemporary feel to it, referring to up-to-date studies and ideas. Many of the chapters are thoughtful and critical, and often acknowledge current difficulties and shortcomings."
