Health Psychology

Since the first edition was published in 1986, Health Psychology has  helped thousands of college students learn how to maintain their health  and guard against illness. The goal of this book has always been to make  research accessible in a way that integrates theory with practical  applications so that people can lead healthier lives. The importance of  social relationships, health behaviors, and co-management of health and  illness are themes that are woven throughout the text. The Connect  course for this offering includes SmartBook, an adaptive reading and  study experience which guides students to master, recall, and apply key  concepts while providing automatically-graded assessments.
