It surveys and assesses the research that shows not only that supportive relationships protect us from a multitude of mental health problems but also that the absence of supportive relationships increases the risk of dying from various diseases.Bert N. Uchino discusses the links between social support and mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. He investigates whether social support is more effective for some individuals and within certain cultures. After evaluating existing conceptual models linking social support to health outcomes, he offers his own broader perspective on the issue. And he suggests the implications for intervention and for future research in this area.Current perspectives in psychology.HealthPatientsSocial networksSocial networksTherapeutic useElectronic books.Health.PatientsSocial networks.Social networksTherapeutic use.615.5Uchino Bert N1055876MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452015003321Social support and physical health2489660UNINA
