The influence of culture on illness, health and rehabilitation is therefore very important. Despite this, most lower level health psychology texts skim over these differences and assume our traditional biomedical approach will be appropriate for all. In this completely revised and updated edition of a groundbreaking book, Malcolm MacLachlan redresses the balance by showing how social and cultural aspects interact with the purely physical: from assessment and treatment all the way through to effects on rehabilitation.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAbout the Author.  \u003cp\u003eCritical acclaim for the First Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to the First Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to the Second Edition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Culture and health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Understanding cultural differences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Cultures and their syndromes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Culture and mental health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Culture and physical health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Culture and treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Culturally sensitive health services.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 Promoting health across cultures.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Global health.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePostscript.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Psychology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Psychology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Psychology%20%5BJM%5D%22\"\u003eJM\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52278036267288,"sku":"9780470847367","price":119.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780470847367.jpg?v=1781457070","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/culture-and-health-a-critical-perspective-towards-global-health-hardback-9780470847367","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
