Health Psychology provides an accessible and empirically-based approach to understanding health psychology. It goes beyond other mainstream textbooks by introducing students to global and cross-cultural health issues, covering cutting-edge scientific and medical topics in ways that students can understand. The author integrates core theory, research, and practice in an engaging and practical way.

The book also integrates the biopsychosocial perspective, building on traditional content and topics in order to aid student understanding, interest, and learning. It incorporates engaging applications, case studies, frequent examples, clear and thorough explanations, and a student-friendly tone. The second edition also provides an emphasis on developmental influences on health.

Dr. Leslie Frazier is an Associate Professor of Psychology and the Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of Psychology at Florida International University. She has a PhD in Life Span Developmental Psychology from Syracuse University and an NIH/NIA Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of California San Francisco Medical School. A developmental health psychologist, Dr. Frazier is interested in the intersections among psychosocial factors and identity/sense of self within the contexts of health and chronic illness in emerging adulthood and later life.
