More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The second edition of Health Psychology: Biopsychosocial Interactions continues to draw on the research and theoretical perspectives of many disciplines to illustrate the interrelationship of psychology and health. Using the biopsychosocial model for understanding the whole person in health and illness, the text explores current Australasian and international research conducted by health psychologists, public health researchers and those working in related fields.
This edition retains the structure, broad scope, pedagogical features and clear, accessible style of Sarafino’s landmark work, while applying Australasian health–related statistics and documenting a wide range of Australasian health promotion programs.
From the Back Cover
Biopsychosocial to the core.
To truly understand the interconnections between psychology and health, you’ve got to take a look at the whole person. That’s why Edward Sarafino’s thoroughly updated Fifth Edition examines the dynamic interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors in people’s health.
Sarafino presents the most current thinking in the field, drawing on recent research and theory from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and biology. Throughout, the text explores life–span development in health and illness, as well as health and health–related behavior of people throughout the world.
This revised new Fifth Edition provides up–to–date coverage of such timely topics as:
- How stress affects health
- Coping processes and effects on health
- Stages of change and motivational interviewing in health promotion
- Substance abuse processes, prevention, and treatment
- Weight control
- Complementary and alternative medicine
- Pain conditions and treatment
- Medical and psychosocial interventions for chronic illnesses
- Age, gender, and sociocultural differences in health and health promotion

Format:Hardcover
this book I would say is essential for any biopsychosocial (BPS) assignment for nursing. It is easy to read, good subheadings and relevant information. This book gives a good insight of the BPS approach and it is worth buying because this book can be used in many other assignments.
