The second edition of Richard Straub's "Health Psychology" explores the psychology behind why we get sick, how we stay well, how we react to illness and how we relate to the health care system and health care providers. "Health Psychology" features superior coverage of major trends in the field, including the mind-body connection, alternative medicine, cross-cultural interactions, women's health and health across the lifespan. "Health Psychology" also emphasizes critical thinking and real-world applications.
