Description

Sustains the biopsychosocial framework of Human Behaviour 1 to examine factors which influence the maintenance of health and the development of illness. The contribution that major theories of human behaviour make to our understanding of health and illness are critically evaluated. Interdisciplinary theoretical and empirical contributions are used to examine a range of themes related to health and illness. Social factors which influence our view of health, the disorders we research and the theories we accept are examined.
