Recent advances in the scientific understanding of the human mind
and brain along with the emphases on evidence-based practice and
competency-based education are creating increasing pressures to
update some of the traditional approaches to structuring and
organizing education and practice in the field. There have also
been many calls in recent years for a unified approach to
conceptualizing professional practice in psychology. This book
examines whether there exists a unified conceptual framework for
the field that is firmly based on current scientific understanding
regarding human development and functioning, that applies across
all the clinical populations and practice areas within the field,
and that would also help integrate professional psychology more
fully into health care and the sciences generally.
Foundations of Health Service Psychology 2e describes a comprehensive science-based approach to the clinical practice of psychology. It systematically applies scientific advances in understanding human psychology to updating the conceptual frameworks used for education, practice, and research in health service psychology. This new edition includes significant elaboration on recent research. Neural and behavioral science research regarding many aspects of cognition, emotion, and behavior has strengthened substantially over the past decade as has the role of evolutionary theory for understanding why humans are "designed" the way we are. The movement toward integrated primary care has also advanced considerably. These and other topics are updated significantly in this new edition. The new edition is also reorganized to streamline the presentation.
