Summary:"In Health Psychology in Global Perspective, author Frances E. Aboud examines the health issues facing developing countries and compares them with issues faced by people in developed countries. She uses a psychosocial perspective rather than the biomedical and anthropological perspectives that are usually applied to health issues in developing countries. This volume is unique because it integrates diverse literature from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, psychology, education, anthropology, and nursing. Accessible to a broad audience, this volume brings mainstream health psychology concepts to bear on the problems of international health and cross-cultural issues to bear on concepts and theories in mainstream health psychology." "A thought-provoking examination of the state of knowledge about health in developing countries, Health Psychology in Global Perspective is a valuable resource for academies and professionals in health psychology, cross-cultural psychology, clinical psychology, social psychology, anthropology, and public health."--BOOK JACKET.
