PSYCH-373 Health Psychology

An overview of how interactions between mind and body contribute to health and well-being. Health psychologists investigate how to promote health, as well as how to prevent, cope with, and recover from illness. In this class, we will examine the interplay between various psychological, social, and environmental factors as they relate to general health outcomes and specific diseases. Topics include stress management, social relationships, personality traits, placebo effects, and behavioral changes such as eating, sleep habits, exercise, and drug use.
