Book Reviews of Health Psychology: An Introduction to Behavior and Health
Book Review: "Not just for Psychology Students" ~JC Angelcraft
Summary: 4 Stars
Linda Brannon's book "Health Psychology" is a well-written exegetical analysis and framework for understanding behavior and health. For those who are not serious students of psychology, I would recommend this book for anyone wishing to learn more about dealing with and understanding their own personal issues concerning "stress," "pain," and or methods of "coping." This book provides valuable tips on management of these areas and elucidates well on the symbiotic relationship between behavior and health.
For students of medicine and or psychology, Brannon's book covers such important areas as why people adhere or not adhere to medical advice, the use, and practical applications of placebos, and the behavioral factors in cancer.
Hidden in this text, are the reasons for why dieters succeed or fail in their quest to lose weight and strategies that can be deployed for personal empowerment over eating disorders. Its principles are solid and its information will be relevant for many years to come.
Summary of Health Psychology: An Introduction to Behavior and Health
For over 20 years, Brannon and Feist's HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION TO BEHAVIOR AND HEALTH has remained the mainstay in the field of health psychology for its scholarship, strong and current research base, and balanced coverage of the cognitive, behavioral, and biological approaches to health psychology. The text's accessibility for a wide-ranging student audience has been a main ingredient of this book's success. Instructors and students alike will appreciate the concise writing style, ample pedagogy, and visual program in this classic approach to the teaching and learning of health psychology.Applied Psychology Books
