Abstract
Health and Human Behaviour provides a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the different models and new ways of thinking around health. By approaching health from a whole-person perspective, the text explores the interrelated psychological, personal and social influences on health, demonstrating that wellness and illness are social and personal events, and not simply biological states.
This edition has been extensively updated to reflect the latest research and to address current issues influencing health and well-being, such as spirituality, mindfulness and the COVID-19 pandemic. To help you engage with the text, you will be posed with key questions to stimulate your understanding of health, such as ‘What does it mean to be sick?’, ‘Why does it seem so difficult to do things that are good for you?’, and ‘Should individual health behaviour be a societal concern?’. With new and revised content, research and resources throughout, this is the ideal text to help you navigate the complex field of health and human behaviour with ease.
