  <abstract>"This book examines the concept of health psychology following its trajectory from ancient to contemporary times. It analyses the theories, practice, and research in health psychology from both Indian and western perspective. The volume brings together knowledge diversified across various narrow sub-fields. It expounds upon physiological psychology; chronic illnesses associated with physiological systems; and biopsychosocial approaches to treatment and management with therapeutic interventions integrated throughout the book. It further discusses health promotive and health risk behaviour with reference to health policies and data base at national and global levels. This book will be beneficial to the students, researchers, and teachers of psychology, applied psychology, public health, public policy, community health, medical and paramedical studies. It will also be indispensable to the policy makers and NGOs working in the field of public health"--</abstract>
