Reviews

Alder has managed to combine the academic and practical components of the psychology of health in an open and accessible format while maintaining a personal touch. This edition.....can maintain its claim to be cutting edge as well as being more 'participative'. All in all, the book remains a particularly informative and accessible text, suitable for psychology and medical students as well as health professionals. <br>-Rory O' Connor, Strathclyde University of Health Psychology Update and the Bulletin of the Scottish Branch of the British Psychological Society <br>
