Abstract
Applied Topics in Health Psychology provides students and trainees in clinical health and health promotion with a selection of topical chapters by prominent Australian health psychologists who are working in the field as researchers, educators and clinicians. With in-depth, critical and comprehensive examination of specialized topics in health psychology, it addresses both theoretical and methodological considerations and also elucidates applied techniques to illustrate a particular evidence-based therapy or approach. Its discrete sections cover core topics in health psychology, from substance use and misuse to enhancing health behaviors and adjusting to chronic illness.
