Synopsis

This book aims to serve as a practical tool for healthcare professionals seeking to understand the connection between psychology and health sciences such as medicine, nursing, nutrition, and social work. It covers key topics in health behaviors (e.g., nutrition, exercise, screening tests, etc.), presenting various models (like health beliefs, transtheoretical, self-efficacy, and positive psychology) for adopting healthy behaviors, with information on how they've been applied in Latin America. It includes a chapter on epigenetics and oncological genetic counseling, demonstrating the influence of emotions and environment on the development of diseases based on genetic programming and inheritance, which may not always manifest. Globally, health psychology professionals have become experts addressing relevant research and health needs, both physical and mental; this book is an initial approach that contributes new insights to existing literature and adapts to our cultural realities.
