This volume elucidates the nature and historical framework of psychological wellbeing, including theoretical foundations, research progress and examples to provide a better understanding of psychological impacts on health and well-being. It emphasizes the need to develop cultural sensitivity to enhance health and well-being across cultures and how culture offers pathways to understand ill health and developing interventions to deal with health issues appropriately. The updated literature review will provide the reader with an insight into the important role that culture plays in the maintenance and sustainability of health and wellbeing.
The use of robust pedagogical features makes this textbook an invaluable companion for students of Psychology, Social Work, Public Health, and Social Economics. It will also serve the requirements of students of other behavioural sciences, nursing, healthcare workers, counsellors, social workers, and policymakers across a range of disciplines.
