Health psychology is a diverse field that has grown quickly in the last 30 years, now including major focuses on improving our health care system, caring for our aging population (boomers), and the behavioural components and risk factors for disease prevention and health promotion. Shelley Taylor and Fuschia Sirois have written a book that presents the best of past, present, and future research in a format that is accessible and relevant to Canadian students, with a strong focus on the behavioural aspects. This title, deeply rooted in scholarly research, presents the depth of the field and the science behind the findings while including applications in every chapter.
