Book Synopsis Social Psychology and Health by : Wolfgang Stroebe
Book excerpt: Which behavior patterns are detrimental to one's health? Which mechanisms mediate the impact of stressful events on health? Stroebe and Stroebe explore such questions and offer an integrative approach that combines psychological, economic, and environmental interventions to reduce behavioral risk factors. This unique approach moves away from purely biomedical models of illness and addresses two major factors detrimental to health and well-being: (1) health-impairing behaviors and (2) stressful life events.
