- Summary
- "In Social Psychology and Health you will find these major health topics discussed from a social psychological perspective. During recent decades there have been significant changes in conceptions of health and illness, with a move towards a broader conception of health to include physical, mental and social well-being. In line with these changes, health psychology has become a dominant force in the health sciences.
- This relatively new field or psychology is much influenced by social psychological theory and research, and the focus of the book reflects this." "Social Psychology and Health gives an up-to-date perspective on these key health psychology questions. The book argues for an integrative approach that combines psychological, economic and environmental interventions in order to reduce the potential risk to health arising from behaviour or stressful life events."--BOOK JACKET.
