  - I use this bookI have used this book for the past 2 years in my Health Psychology course. I chose it after reviewing other psychology books (about 5) and find that it gives students a good background in Health Psychology without making many of the mistakes of other Health Psychology books. Plus, it's much less expensive and more readable than other texts. I expect that my students will not only purchase it but also read it! Rating:  - Pleasant to read yet somewhat one-sidedOgden's work offers an accessible introduction to health psychology. In comparison to many a dry textbook it certainly is a pleasure to read. In my view, however, the author could have paid more attention to other than psychological aspects of health - I thought she got carried away with ascribing about everything to psychology. I do realize that this work IS on psychology but that still doesn't mean psychology has all the answers. More medical information on mind-body interactions would have been useful. Also, I wouldn't have found the repetitions of study descriptions at different places necessary. |
