Health Psychology: Biopsychosocial Interactions, 10th Edition, is a textbook that examines how biological, psychological, and social factors jointly influence human well-being. The text integrates behavioral, physiological, cognitive, and social viewpoints to explore reciprocal relationships between mind and body across the lifespan.
The thematic scope covers foundational concepts in psychology and health alongside the functioning of the body's physical systems. Sourced discussions explore the origins and consequences of stress, personal coping methods, approaches to health promotion, and the psychological dimensions of chronic medical conditions.
Designed for undergraduates studying psychology and health, the textbook also serves practitioners across allied healthcare fields, addiction counseling, and social work. Each chapter incorporates boxed features designed to direct attention to significant information during study.
