Fourth Edition
Additional resources:


March 2025 | 650 pages | SAGE Publications Ltd
As our understanding of what constitutes ‘good health’ grows, so does our need to understand the psychological aspects of medicine and health, as well as the psychological interventions available in healthcare. This bestselling textbook provides a comprehensive overview of research, theory, application, and current practices in the field. The new edition delves deeper into critical topics such as diversity and health inequalities, cultural influences on healthcare, the rise of digital healthcare solutions, and the well-being of healthcare practitioners. With updated case studies, research examples, and online resources, this essential text equips medical and healthcare students with the knowledge and tools to navigate the evolving landscape of health psychology.
