Reviews

'The book is well written and presents an interesting and novel approach to behavioural medicine and health psychology.' - F.X. Gibbons, Department of Psychology, Iowa State University 'This is an excellent book. It has a logical structure, moving from health behaviours, through symptom perception, illness behaviour and doctor-patient communication, to perceptions of health and wellness. The book makes consistent use of common sense models and four levels of social psychological analysis to provide a lucid and detailed account of key topics in health psychology.' - Stephen Sutton, Professor of Behavioural Science, University of Cambridge
