The SAGE Handbook of Health Psychology by Stephen R Sutton

SAGE Handbook of Health Psychology

"With its refreshing reliance on contributors from outside the US, this handbook offers a more global perspective than mostIt also provides more intensive discussion of issues and research than is found in current introductory textbooks. Most of the contributors fill in significant gaps in the research literature on health psychology, making this book especially valuable for those seeking thesis or dissertation topics. . . . Readers will find this handbook both intellectually stimulating and useful." -- M.K. Snooks * CHOICE *
