Sumner has thoughtfully collated her expertise and knowledge to create an insightful book that will instill curiosity and positively influence our future practitioners. This book, A Biopsychosocial Approach to Health, captures the intersection of biology and psychology, and all the facets of health that are touched by it. Creating engagement and immersion in heavy topics can be difficult, but Sumner has done this with ease.
This book explores the varying influences on health and wellbeing and will encourage students to consider a wider range of perspectives in their clinical reasoning when assessing people and working with service users.
Excellent text book for teaching at Levels 4 and 5. The narrative is accessible and easy to understand. Topics are approached in a systematic fashion and encompass all elements of health and social care. Lots packed in to a small but effective text book. I will use it on several different modules to aid my teaching and recommend to students as a generic book for the Foundation Degree in Health and Social Care.
