Considered the most comprehensive handbook in the field, this rich resource reviews the biological, psychological, and social factors that affect health, health behavior, and illness. Many chapters review the latest theories and research while others illustrate how research is translated into clinical and community interventions to improve physical health and emotional well-being. Chapters examine health behavior processes within the social contexts in which we live, including family, social, and cultural communities. The handbook cuts across concepts (behavior change), populations (women's health), risk and protective factors (obesity) and diseases, making it appropriate for a variety of readers from various fields.Featuring contributions from the top researchers and rising stars in the field, each author provides a theoretical foundation, evaluates the empirical evidence, and makes suggestions for future research, clinical practice, and/or policy. Novices to the field appreciate the accessibly written chapters, while seasoned professionals appreciate the book's deep, cutting edge coverage.Significantly updated throughout, the new edition reflects the latest approaches to health psychology today:greater emphasis on translating research into practice and policymore on the socio-cultural aspects of health including socioeconomic status, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and agingtwo new sections on risk and protective factors for disease and another on social and structural influences that affect healthmore on prevention, interventions, and treatment in the applications sectionan expansion of the bio-psycho-social model across several levels of analysis, including cultural, macro-social, and cellular factors.The book opens with the field's central theories, emphasizing the interaction of biological and social systems.
