Health Psychology: An Introduction to Behavior and Health 10th Edition

For over 25 years, Brannon/Updegraff/Feist’s HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY: AN INTRODUCTION TO BEHAVIOR AND HEALTH has remained a leader in the field for its scholarship, strong and current research base, and balanced coverage of the cognitive, behavioral and biological approaches to health psychology. Appreciated by instructors — and accessible and appealing to a wide range of students, including nonmajors — it features a concise writing style, expanded pedagogy and numerous visuals. Reflecting the latest developments in the field, the 10th edition covers the COVID-19 pandemic, the dangers of e-cigarettes, the Type D personality as a risk for heart disease, the brain disease model of alcoholism and more. It also includes new “Apply What You’ve Learned” activities, an updated author-curated list of online multimedia links and “Real World Profiles” that highlight people whose lives illustrate chapter concepts.
