Description
The Handbook of Cultural Health Psychology discusses the influence of cultural beliefs, norms and values on illness,
health and health care. The major health problems that are confronting the global village are discussed from a cultural perspective.
These include heart disease, cancer, HIV/AIDS, pain, and suicide. The cultural beliefs and practices of several cultural groups and the
unique health issues confronting them are also presented. The cultural groups discussed include Latinos, Aboriginal peoples, people of
African heritage, and South Asians. The handbook contributes to increased personal awareness of the role of culture in health and illness
behavior, and to the delivery of culturally relevant health care services.
Audience
Health Psychologists (APA div. 38), cognitive and social psychologists, clinical psychologists, physicians.
