MBM 5522 - Health Psychology: The Application of Psychological Concepts and Tools to Health


"Psychologists who strive to understand how biological, behavioral, and social factors influence health and illness are called health psychologists" (APA Division 38, 2002). The subject matter of Health Psychology as a discipline overlaps greatly with the fields of integrative health and mind-body medicine. In the broadest sense, Health Psychology is the organized and systematic effort to apply the knowledge and skills of the behavioral sciences to human health and illness. It presents the framework, methodology, and applications of mainstream health psychology, and reviews common applications of health psychology. 3 credit(s)
