Health Psychology: Biopsychosocial Interactions

This book is chock full of bad science, outdated references, and misleading statements. Its content might be appropriate for a consumer magazine, but not for a _good_ consumer magazine. I have to read it for a graduate (!) class, and my critical thinking skills are developing a bad case of learned helplessness. Two thumbs down.

It is a small textbook and fairly simple to read. Its not filled with huge, complicated theories that can put you to sleep.
