The Psychology of Health and Illness is a thoroughly updated version of Leslie Frazier's previous textbook on health psychology, which provides an engaging and contemporary approach to understanding health psychology from a truly international perspective. Combining both biopsychosocial and lifespan developmental perspectives, the book integrates core theory, research, and practice on global and cross-cultural health issues. It includes thoughtful and deliberately inclusive coverage of marginalized groups, especially BIPOC, LGBTQ+ and other underrepresented groups, designed to raise diversity- and racial- consciousness in a globally integrative way.Alongside classic health psychology concepts, the author introduces students to cutting edge scientific and medical topics such as epigenetics, the gut microbiome and the non-medical use of prescription drugs. The book also focuses on global public health and health disparities and promotes a strengths-based approach to health, rather than a

This book provides a rationale for teaching inclusive teamwork and for understanding communication as a collective endeavour. It shows how teamwork can be taught within schools and emphasises the role that classmates have in facilitating good communication, particularly in the face of difficulty.Grounded in evidence from hours of therapy and analysis of children's accounts of communication and children's interactions with their peers, the book explores the components of teamwork by looking carefully at the way school children really interact. It draws on research from the fields of education, psychology and speech and language therapy to propose the framework for a programme suitable for children aged 7 to 14 years, designed to include pupils with speech, language and communication needs. The programme includes activities, a set of criteria to use as an outcome measure, and examples of the way that children and young people have responded in practice. In using the inclusive teamwork pr
