Health Psychology: A Textbook third edition
Praise for the previous edition:
"The volume of work undertaken by Ogden for the first edition of her textbook was impressive, and the second edition is even better...As a text aimed at undergraduate psychology students, it is hard to fault."
Times Higher Education Supplement (The Textbook Guide)
Health Psychology: A Textbook has made a major contribution to the teaching and study of this rapidly expanding discipline. Maintaining its strong review of theory and research and its details of behaviours such as smoking, exercise, eating and screening, the third edition has been substantially revised to provide increased coverage of the biological aspects of health and illness. This book now provides the most accessible and comprehensive guide to the field.
JANE OGDEN

“This third edition has now been extensively updated and considerably strengthened in a number of key areas ... it provides a clear, comprehensive and up-to-date overview of a wide range of research and theory ... it clearly deserves to maintain its place as the number one choice of health psychology textbook."
