An Introduction to Global Community Health Psychology: Applications at the Intersection of Health Psychology and Public Health is a groundbreaking textbook that bridges public health and psychological science, synthesizing theory, research, and practice from a truly global perspective. Moving beyond Western-centric approaches, it incorporates diverse cultural contexts, indigenous knowledge systems, and international case studies.
Adopting a socioecological framework, the book prioritizes cultural humility, contextual sensitivity, and equity throughout its examination of health challenges. Core domains include health promotion, behavior change, health disparities, mental health, addiction, chronic disease management, and emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, digital health, and the psychological impacts of climate change and pandemics.
As a foundational text for community health psychology, it provides students, practitioners, and policymakers with theoretical foundations, empirical evidence, practical applications, and ethical guidance to address complex global health challenges.
