"This volume spans the full spectrum of the applications
of health psychology, from promoting health and well-being, to
preventing substance misuse and obesity, and promoting adjustment
to chronic illness. This is a wonderfully pragmatic collection,
which never loses sight of the centrality of good theory and the
importance of building a robust evidence base for what we [health
psychologists] do." --Molly Byrne, National
University of Ireland, Galway

"This superb handbook provides comprehensive and scholarly
reviews of the psychological implications and practical management
of a wide range of health conditions. Written by
international leaders in their fields, this is an indispensable
resource for all psychologists or aspiring psychologists working in
health settings."--Professor Susan Paxton, La Trobe
University, Melbourne
