Health Psychology: An Introduction to Behavior and Health, is a well-written, authoritative, yet pleasantly user-friendly book about one of the most important areas of psychology today.
The authors, McNeese professors Dr. Linda Brannon and Dr. Jeff Feist have been in for the long haul– this review is for the seventh edition. It has been 20 some odd years since they started looking at health psychology and capturing the diverse and complex interactions that support factual and evidenced- based conclusions impacting health and longevity.
Authors do an excellent job staying up with this fast-moving field and the challenges of rapid and sometimes perplexing shifts in the landscape of research about health and behavior.
