The Health Psychology Reader
- David F Marks - Arles, France
The Health Psychology Reader is designed to complement and support the recent textbook Health Psychology: Theory, Research and Practice by David F. Marks, Michael Murray, Brian Evans and Carla Willig (SAGE, 2000). It can also be used as a stand-alone resource given its didactic nature. The Reader explores key topics within the health psychology field with incisive introductions to each section by the Editor and includes a selection of the most important theoretical and empirical published work.
`This book was an absolute joy to read and offers a comprehensive review of health psychology.... This book should become a classic - necessary reading for students in all branches of health. Nursing students will find it invaluable, but other students - and their teachers - will also find it very useful. SAGE have added a valuable and important text to their already impressive list, and Marks can be complimented on his scholarly organisation of complex topics into an accessible and readable whole. No library should be without it and serious students should invest in a copy of their own' - Health Matters
The Health Psychology Reader provides a concise guide to Health Psychology. It is set out in 5 key sections and explores key theories and research in the area. This is a great, stimulating text to health psychology students at all levels.
This book is clear, informative and easy to read. A good text for students on an M.Sc. Health Psychology module.
A great compilation of key readings for psychology students and researchers.
