From the reviews:

"It consists of short articles ... related to health psychology ... . The articles are clear and concise. ... The cross-referencing is good, and each entry has a short bibliography of useful further reading. ... gives a considerable proportion of its space to biographical entries for living health-related psychologists. " (Martin Guha, Reference Reviews, Vol. 19(3), 2005)
