Health Psychology

With its clear descriptions of current research into the prevention,  treatment, and causes of health related disorders, Health Psychology has  helped thousands of college students learn how to maintain their health  and guard against illness since the first edition was published in  1986. Using contemporary, real-world examples, the ninth edition focuses  on the importance of social relationships, health behaviors, and  co-management of health and illness. Taylor makes research accessible in  a way that integrates theory with practical applications so that  students come away with a current, thorough understanding of health  psychology.
