It is increasingly clear that how healthy we are is bound up with who we are, our characteristic styles of behaving and the sorts of psychological worlds we occupy. Correspondingly, it is likely that psychological strategies which seek to reduce unhealthy behaviour and to change our ways of dealing with stress will become increasingly important in the battle against illness and in the promotion of health. In this book the author examines the role of psychological factors in physical illness, as well as assessing the effectiveness of the psychological tactics that are deployed to reduce unhealthy behaviour and to combat the impact of stress. It is aimed at A level and undergraduate students of psychology as well as at health and nursing students, students of behavioural sciences, clinical psychology, physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
