This customised edition addresses content that will not only foster learning and understanding on a number of topics central to understanding individual health behaviours (e.g., principles of learning, development, communication, personality, and memory processes), but in doing so will draw on theory, research and evidence-based practice. In addition to this, the final sections of the book address psychological features, or specific constructs (e.g. pain), that may be a response to injury or disease - all of which can influence an individual's behaviour and interpersonal interactions.

This book is structured so that chapters and/or groups of chapters can be read independently in almost any order.
