Understanding the links among social environment, emotion,
behavior, and illness is a growing theme in medical and health
education. The booming development in this field is reflected in
the growth of disciplines such as health psychology, psychosocial
epidemiology, and behavioral medicine. Until now, however, the
basic literature has been awkwardly dispersed across medical and
social science journals. Now the most important articles of the
past thirty years are brought together in a single volume. The
thirty-one articles are grouped around themes such as "Life stress,
social support and health," "Psychophysiological processes in
diseases," and "Behavioral interventions in medicine." The articles
include such provocative topics as "Can lifestyle changes reverse
coronary heart disease?," "Psychological response to breast cancer:
effect on outcome," and "Psychological stress and susceptibility to
the common cold." Each section is prefaced by an up-to-date review
of the subject by the volume editors. Uniting biomedical,
psychological, and social perspectives, this text will be an
invaluable resource for both scholars and students of medicine,
health sciences, and clinical and health psychology.
