"Preface Since the publication of the first edition of the Handbook of Health Psychology (Psychology Press, 2001), enormous progress has been made in the connections among biological, psychological, and social components of health, health behavior, and illness. More important, scholars in the fi eld have expanded this tripartite model across even more levels of analysis, including cultural and macrosocial factors at one end and cellular factors at the other. Moreover, a new emphasis has been to translate research evidence in to practice and policy. The second edition of the handbook refl ects these changes and is quite different from the fi rst in terms of both approach and content. The 34 chapters are written by some of the top scholars in health psychology. Each author has taken seriously the task of providing a theoretical foundation, synthesizing and evaluating the empirical evidence, and contemplating how the state of the science can inform future research, clinical practice, and/or policy. The book maintains the fi rst edition's framework of the biopsychosocial model, but the choice of topics refl ects the advances that have been made in the fi eld over the past quarter century. Specifi cally, this new edition adds sections on risk and protective factors for disease and on macro-level factors that affect health. We believe that this structure more closely refl ects current scholarship in health psychology. The fi rst section, "Overarching Frameworks and Paradigms," presents the central theories that inform many areas of research within the fi eld. For example, the concept of allostatic load is a "newer" stress theory that emphasizes the interaction of biological and social systems and may explain the onset of many conditions"-- Provided by publisher.
