Recenzje

Alder has managed to combine the academic and practical components of the psychology of health in an open and accessible format while maintaining a personal touch. This edition ... can maintain its claim to be cutting edge as well as being more 'participative'. All in all, the book remains a particularly informative and accessible text, suitable for psychology and medical students as well as health professionals.
