<p><b>Marie Louise Caltabiano</b> is Associate Professor of Psychology in the School of Arts and Social Sciences at James Cook University, Australia. With 20 years of teaching experience in clinical health psychology, she is a member of the Australian Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association, and co-author of <i>Health Psychology: Biopsychosocial Interactions</i> (Wiley, 2008), the Australasian adaptation of Sarafino's <i>Health Psychology</i>.</p> <p><b>Lina Ricciardelli</b> is Associate Professor in the School of Psychology at Deakin University, Australia, and chairs the College of Health Psychologists in the Australian Psychological Society. She has published more than 100 papers on health psychology, developmental psychology, and substance use.</p>

<p><i>Applied Topics in Health Psychology</i> provides students and trainees in clinical health and health promotion with a selection of topical chapters by prominent Australian health psychologists who are working in the field as researchers, educators, and clinicians. With in-depth, critical and comprehensive examination of specialized topics in health psychology, it addresses both theoretical and methodological considerations and also elucidates applied techniques to illustrate a particular evidence-based therapy or approach. Its discrete sections cover core topics in health psychology, from substance use and misuse to enhancing health behaviors and adjusting to chronic illness.</p> <p>Offering a much-needed contextualization of health psychology for Australasian students, this is a valuable fresh resource for postgraduate trainees, and with its state-of-the-art coverage of a broad range of issues it will be required reading for Health College members as well as a range of practitioners working in related fields.</p>

<p>“This volume spans the full spectrum of the applications of health psychology, from promoting health and well-being, to preventing substance misuse and obesity, and promoting adjustment to chronic illness. This is a wonderfully pragmatic collection, which never loses sight of the centrality of good theory and the importance of building a robust evidence base for what we [health psychologists] do.” <i>—Molly Byrne,</i> <i>National University of Ireland, Galway</i></p> <p>“This superb handbook provides comprehensive and scholarly reviews of the psychological implications and practical management of a wide range of health conditions.  Written by international leaders in their fields, this is an indispensable resource for all psychologists or aspiring psychologists working in health settings.”—<i>Professor Susan Paxton, La Trobe University, Melbourne</i></p>
