This work, designed for A-Level and undergraduate students, describes how behaviour can interact with stress to produce ill-health and, conversely, how stress can be managed to avoid the dangers of heart disease and other illnesses. Health psychology has a relatively short history, but the past decade has witnessed an explosion of interest in this topic. It is designed to be accessible to the beginning psychology student but to take that student, or any other interested reader, to a depth sufficient to enable them to feel a sense of satisfaction in being able to co me to grips with the major theoretical and empirical perspectives that are influential in contemporary psychology. Professor Carroll has, himself, a distinguished record of research in health psychology and his own research and writing has substantially influenced the development of this field in Britain..
