Reviews
From the reviews:
"It consists of short articles … related to health psychology … . The articles are clear and concise. … The cross-referencing is good, and each entry has a short bibliography of useful further reading. … gives a considerable proportion of its space to biographical entries for living health-related psychologists. " (Martin Guha, Reference Reviews, Vol. 19(3), 2005)
