Health Psychology: Alternative Topics provides students with an
engaging collection of readings that explore everyday remedies for
common health concerns, including homeopathy, vitamins, and
cultural treatments, that are not typically included in academic
discussions of health psychology. Students learn how and why these
remedies work for some but not all populations, as well as how
personal and societal beliefs can influence physical health. The
anthology is divided into four sections. Section I addresses mixed
health outcomes and includes articles that focus on common drinks
and foods that have shown both positive and negative health
outcomes. In Section II, students read selections that evaluate
different forms of homeopathy and factors that may influence their
effects. Section III examines culture and medicine with focus on
how culture influences diagnosis and health care. The final section
presents students with treatment and wellness explanations for why
some of these remedies are adopted, and why, in many instances,
these remedies and health care beliefs work. Featuring unique and
thought-provoking content, Health Psychology is an excellent
supplementary resource for courses within the fields of social
psychology and health psychology.
