Personality

Hobboken : Pearson

The Oxford Handbook of Health Psychology (Oxford Library of Psychology)

The flaws in today's healthcare systems and practices are well-documented: millions remain far from optimal health due to a variety of psychological and social factors; large numbers of patients do not fully cooperate with medical advice; errors in medical decision-making -- some stemming from flaws in interpersonal relations -- regularly lead to needless suffering and death. Further, the effects of emotions, personality, and motivation on healing are not well incorporated into traditional medical care. The Oxford Handbook of Health Psychology compiles the most relevant scholarship from psychology, medicine, and public health to offer a thorough and authoritative model of the biopsychosocial approach to health. A collection of international contributors addresses all relevant concepts in this model, including its applications to health promotion, health behavior change, and treatment.

How did Madonna transform from small-town girl to Material Girl? What drove Lorena Bobbit to her breaking point? Were people like these molded by their environment, or is their something inherent in one's personality that motivates certain behavioral patterns? Friedman and Schustack frame their book around the eight basic aspects of personality, using these principles to show the various ways our human complexity forms from developmental influences, such as biological predispositions, cognitive structures, and situational demands. Vignettes about modern cultural figures, along with substantial integration of cross-cultural and women's issues, build on the field of personality theory to provide a modern view that will challenge and fascinate all readers. Organized from the viewpoint that personality has eight basic aspects: psychoanalytic, ego, biological, behaviorist, cognitive, trait, humanistic, and situational. Psychologists and anyone else interested in issues of personality formation and development.
