520 _aHealth psychology is a rapidly expanding discipline combining psychology and clinical medicine. This important text collates international and interdisciplinary expertise to form a unique encyclopedic handbook to this field that will be valuable to medical practitioners as well as psychologists.

This book will prove to be an invaluable resource to all those with an interest in the psychological aspects of health care.
