What are the processes that lead to illness and, inversely, to
health and wellness? How can healthcare systems be improved to help
prevent and manage illness? What are the primary political and
lifestyle factors that can contribute to the promotion of public
health and wellbeing? Part of the Palgrave Insights in Psychology
series, this straight-forward text provides a well-rounded
introduction to the topic of health psychology and delivers an
overview of the key issues within the discipline. Readers can
expect to learn about the various sub-disciplines that comprise
this interdisciplinary area of psychology such as sociology,
medicine and politics. Written for those who would like to gain a
general understanding of the profession and discipline of the
subject, this book introduces the main disorders at the heart of
health psychology's focus such chronic illness, cancer, pain,
stress, smoking cessation and weight loss. Further, Rodham examines
the behavioural factors and wider political processes that affect
the psychology of health, illness and healthcare in society. This
title stands as part of the Insights series edited by Nigel Holt
and Rob Lewis, containing well-rounded, quick guides to the
cornerstone theories, main topics and theoretical perspectives of
their subjects and are useful for pre-undergraduate students
looking to find incisive introductions to subjects that they may be
considering for undergraduate study or those looking for helpful
preparatory reading for undergraduate modules in the prospective
subject.
