Produktbeschreibung

The Psychology of Health and Illness is a thoroughly updated version of Leslie Frazier’s previous textbook

on health psychology, which provides an engaging and contemporary approach to understanding

health psychology from a truly international perspective. Combining both biopsychosocial and

lifespan developmental perspectives, the book integrates core theory, research, and practice on global

and cross-cultural health issues. It includes thoughtful and deliberately inclusive coverage of marginalized

groups, especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and other underrepresented groups, designed to raise

diversity and racial consciousness in a globally integrative way.

Alongside classic health psychology concepts, the author introduces students to cutting-edge scientific

and medical topics such as epigenetics, the gut microbiome, and the nonmedical use of prescription

drugs. The book also focuses on global public health and health disparities and promotes a

strengths-based approach to health, rather than a deficits-based approach. It includes a wide range of

pedagogical features including real-world applications, engaging anecdotes and case studies, opportunities

for self-reflection, and numerous text boxes.

This is essential reading for undergraduate students on Health Psychology courses as well as those

in related fields such as nursing and the allied health professions.
