Health Psychology: The Basics Paperback – 30 Dec. 2020

This book covers a wide array of topics, including the understanding of pain, diabetes, obesity, autoimmune diseases, stress and children's behaviour from a health psychology perspective. The authors are able to seamlessly integrate research findings with real-life applications, offering readers up to date evidence on psychological solutions to these health conditions. For example, CBT, the Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and music therapy in pain management.What sets this book apart is its holistic approach, emphasizing the biopsychosocial model to explain the interconnectedness of biological, psychological, and social determinants of health. The inclusion of case studies and clear diagrams and tables further enhances comprehension and application of the material.I highly recommend this book to teachers, students, researchers and ordinary readers who want to understand their own health conditions and try out psychological therapy.
