This book covers a great deal of interest and practical value in the areas of Health, Medicine, and Psychology and how they interact. The sections have been written by well-respected experts in their fields. The book is organized in a way that makes it easy to use without resorting to the index. The writing is clear.

There is an introductory section with a brief review of psychological topics that are useful in understanding the remainder of the book and how psychology is applied to medicine.

There is another section dealing with the psychological aspects of health and illness.

The next section concerns itself with psychological assessment and intervention.

Following that is a section on professional health practice.

The final section is a compendium of scores of diseases and disorders discussed in the light of the interaction between psychology and medicine.

This book would be a fine addition to the library of anyone interested in the interplay between mind and medicine, and is a very useful resource.
