Featuring a stellar collection of authors this comprehensive yet practical sourcebook consolidates information needed by health psychologists working alongside other healthcare professionals (physicians, nurses, dietitians, occupational and physical therapists) in a medical setting to conduct research and to provide clinical assessment and behavioural treatment services. The Health Psychology Handbook is divided into four major parts. Part One highlights practical issues faced by health psychologists in a medical setting (how to motivate patients, consultation-liaison, assessment and screening, brief psychotherapies, ethical issues). Part Two concentrates on treating unhealthy behaviours (alcohol and nicotine use, noncompliance, overeating/obesity, physical inactivity, stress). Part Three considers behavioural aspects of medical problems (pain management, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, sexual dysfunction, HIV/AIDS, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia). Part Four takes up special issues (minority issues, women’s issues, working with geriatric populations, public health approaches to health psychology and behavioural medicine).
