The book explores the importance of biopsychosocial processes in health and illness, through an exploration of socio-cultural factors beyond the restrictive western-centric models of health to include indigenous populations and marginalised groups. Within this book, readers are introduced to the negative health impacts of direct and transgenerational colonialism, racism, restrictions on cultural practices, freedoms and institutionalisation. This includes recognising the impact of systemic oppression on health outcomes and advocating for policies that address health disparities of diverse populations in order to tailor interventions to meet their specific needs. Research studies present examples of how gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, culture and disabilities intersect with health outcomes in the exploration and the perpetuation of health disparities.
Primarily written for undergraduates, the book also provides a firm foundation for graduate students, teachers and practitioners in psychology, nursing and the allied health professions.
