| Abstract
|
:
|
Health psychology is the scientific study of psychological processes related to health and health care. Although the field is only 25 years old, it has burgeoned into a major scientific and clinical discipline. Health psychology has excellent scientific journals, thousands of scientists and practitioners, and many students. Yet, there has not been a sufficient statement or explication of the foundational concepts upon which this flourishing field is built. ''Foundations of Health Psychology'' brings together top experts to provide a much-needed conceptual base for this rapidly expanding field.
