Omschrijving
A comprehensive overview of the research, theory, application and current practices in the field of psychology for medicine and healthcare, covering topics from epigenetics to social determinants of health and transdiagnostic approaches to mental health and everything in between.
The book is my bible! I teach UG medical students psychology (Years 1-5) and always use it as a key reference for most topics including: Stress and health; Developmental Psychology and Health; Chronic illness; Grief; Health behaviour and behaviour change etc. I think the book covers really well the key theoretical approaches relevant to medical students/future clinicians and makes excellent use of practical examples. It helps students apply psychological theory to clinical practice and makes psychology relevant to medics in an uncomplicated and sensitive way.
