Improving lifestyles is thought to be one of the most effective
means of reducing mortality and morbidity in the developed world.
However, despite decades of health promotion, there has been no
significant difference to lifestyles and instead there are rising
levels of inactivity and obesity. The Psychology of Lifestyle
addresses the role psychology can play in reversing the trend of
deleterious lifestyle choices. It considers the common
characteristics of lifestyle behaviours and reflects on how we can
inform and improve interventions to promote healthy lifestyles.
Health promotion has taught people what a healthy lifestyle is -
now we need to enable people to live that life. The chapters cover
key lifestyle behaviours that impact on health -smoking, eating,
physical activity, drinking, sex and drug use - as well as
combinations of behaviours. Each chapter contains interventions
that have been developed to influence and promote lifestyle change
among patients and clients. This unique book will enable readers to
develop a clear theoretical and practical grasp of the
psychological principles involved in all aspects of lifestyle
change. It is an invaluable resource for students and professionals
committed to health promotion within all health-related
disciplines.
