The third and final volume in this series
highlights the development of psychology as a health science. A diverse group of leading
researchers and clinicians detail the philosophical underpinnings on which the field is
based identifying psychology's contribution to healthcare and public health. This volume
highlights the development of psychology as a health science, identifies psychology's
contribution to public health, and successfully integrates psychological theory to better
understand the interface of health, psychology, disease, and behavior. Chapters encompass
research perspectives, clinical issues, and public health and policy topics. This practical sourcebook will be an invaluable reference for health
psychologists and medical professionals. The three volumes are both comprehensive and
specific as they relate to the entire field of health psychology. Topics in Volume 1
explore the role of behavior and psychology in a wide range of medical disorders, and use
the ICD-9 diagnostic classification as a basis. Volume 2 examines how behavior affects the
development, progression, and treatment of specific medical disorders. This set could be
used as an encyclopedia, a manual, or a comprehensive text. It is meant to encompass a
newly developing, rapidly expanding, scientifically validating, and clinically recognized
area concerned with human health and health care delivery.
