 Easy to read November 24, 2008
Overall, this is a good book. The only problem I had was a slight one and particular to my own idiosyncricies, which was that I had difficulty going back to review and find particular phrases or words to help me as a reference. Other than that this book is a very good read and an important learning tool in the topic of health in Psychology. I would recommend it to Psych. students.

When I purchases the Health Psycholgy Book, I received it in very good condition. The book was very helpful to me as a resource while I took my Psychology class. (I received a "A" in the class).
Most comprehensive book out there. August 5, 2008

I teach this course and having looked at many books I can tell you that this is the most comprehensive out there. I find the writing style just fine and has been improved much over the editions. If one is looking for the latest and most accurate information than this is the book for you. Health Psychology is a relatively recent discipline so there are not as many textbooks out there. I find this to be the best for my purposes.

Not only are the chapters of Taylor's book of ridiculous length (ch.3 is nearly 40 pages) The information provided as "case studies" is dated and boring. My largest qualm with this book is that is extremely repetitive. It's almost like when you have a long paper to write over a topic with little previous research, and you write the same things over and over in different ways just to lengthen it. This book is a great example of that. Some of the info in it is good but there's no need for the repitition. Also, the book is expensive ($124.55 at my university) but is very bland in appearance- No Color! Not even the pictures. Don't buy this book unless you have to.
