About
Psychology of Health and Health Care focuses on understanding how biological (e.g., heredity, physiological systems), psychological (e.g., emotions, cognitions, beliefs, personality) and social (e.g., family, community) factors interact to affect health and disease. The main goals of the course are to develop a thorough understanding of the biopsychosocial approach to health, to gain knowledge of the different theories, research, and clinical interventions that relate to health psychology, and the role of psychology in preventing illness, promoting wellness and shaping health care policy.
