Críticas:

"The Clinical Handbook of Health Psychology is one of the most useful books I have seen in its field. Its empirically based, practical focus makes it suitable both for advanced graduate students and for experienced practitioners. This volume brings together applied, up-to-date information on the most common medical diagnoses of clients seen by health psychologists, and on the latest psychological assessment and intervention techniques tailored to persons with these medical diagnoses. It thus provides an invaluable reference tool for the practicing health psychologist."

Reseña del editor:

This health psychology text, which is both a working reference manual for professional health psychologists and a teaching tool, has been revised and updated. The first section looks at the foundations of good practice, including how to carry out an effective initial clinical interview and assessment. In the next main section, detailed chapters then address the most important medical conditions dealt with by psychologists, including cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, chronic pain, diabetes, endocrine and gastrointestinal problems, AIDS, MS, obstetric and gynaecological conditions, and many more. The final section looks at community, social, spiritual, and creative involvement, including effective methods for helping patients cope with their medical conditions, alternative health methods, and risk reduction in minority populations.
