"Essential Readings in Health Psychology" is a new collection of
key papers brought together for the first time in a single volume
which complements Jane Ogdens bestselling textbook, "Health
Psychology,"
. . The reader focuses on the key areas highlighted by the
British Psychological Society as central to health psychology,
providing an ideal resource for any undergraduate or postgraduate
course in health psychology as well as for students of medicine,
nursing and allied health.
. . The papers have been carefully selected from a range of
prestigious international journals including "American
Psychologist," the "British Medical Journal," "Psychology and
Health," "Psychosomatic Medicine," "Health Psychology" and the
"Journal of the American Medical Association,"
. . Each of the twenty-nine papers employs different theories
and methods which offer a different perspective from within one of
five broad areas: . . The context of health psychology. Health
behaviours. Health care. Stress and health. Chronic illness . . The
papers offer case examples of health psychology work that
illustrate what health psychology research can (and cannot)
achieve. They are framed by editorial discussions which will help
students to understand the context, meaning and contribution of
each paper to the discipline of Health Psychology as a whole. The
complete papers are published, including their reference lists, so
they can be used to develop reading lists and recommend further
reading.
. . This book can be used independently or along side the
introductory text, "Health Psychology," Each book contains a
cross-referenced list of chapters from the other, in order that
lecturers and students can easilyfind clear evidence-based examples
of key theories, models and methods being used in practice. .
