Rather than take a medical model approach, the volume examines health psychology from a theoretical, conceptual, and psychological perspective. After presenting an overview of the field's history and methods, the contributors address major concepts of the biopsychosocial approach to health and then discuss applications to health promotion and effective treatment and prevention.Clinical health psychologyClinical health psychology.610.1/9Friedman Howard S1135231Silver Roxane Cohen1859936MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962895103321Foundations of health psychology4464303UNINA
