Roger Ingham, Professor of Health and Community Psychology, University of Southampton, UK "Students are provided with clear, up-to-date and accessible information on the major theoretical and empirical issues in health psychology. There are five new chapters and the one on health promotion is particularly impressive." Ad A. Kaptein, Professor of Medical Psychology, Leiden University Medical Centre, The Netherlands
