The flaws in today's healthcare systems and practices are
well-documented: millions remain far from optimal health due to a
variety of psychological and social factors; large numbers of
patients do not fully cooperate with medical advice; errors in
medical decision-making -- some stemming from flaws in
interpersonal relations -- regularly lead to needless suffering and
death. Further, the effects of emotions, personality, and
motivation on healing are not well incorporated into traditional
medical care.
The Oxford Handbook of Health Psychology compiles the most relevant
scholarship from psychology, medicine, and public health to offer a
thorough and authoritative model of the biopsychosocial approach to
health. A collection of international contributors addresses all
relevant concepts in this model, including its applications to
health promotion, health behavior change, and treatment.
