The New Psychology of Health: Unlocking the Social Cure

Catherine Haslam

0/5 ( ratings)

Advancing the Social Cure translates social identity theory into healthcare practice. It provides a comprehensive analysis and practical guide for students, researchers and practitioners. It also presents a "new" psychology of health, one that has emerged in recent years with growing awareness of the role that social capital and related factors play in a range of health outcomes. Much of this work has until now lacked a strong theoretical foundation, and so has offered a limited basis for understanding "when" and "why" social processes affect health. This pathbreaking volume provides that theoretical framework and shows how it can both guide management of a range of core health problems and supplement this with concrete strategies and approaches for intervention. Its distinctive and practical approach will be ideal for students in clinical and health psychology, as well as health professionals and anyone with an interest in the field.
