Recenzii

"Health psychologists operate in a variety of settings and can take a number of diverse training pathways. Finally, there is a book that answers the most asked question I get in teaching Health Psychology for over 20 years, cleanly unpacking and illuminating how one becomes a health psychologist. I look forward to sharing this with my students, widely and often. The book not only shows students how to get in but what to expect in graduate school. That's not all, walking the health psychology walk, the book also discusses stress and coping in training—this is the complete package." - Regan A. R. Gurung, Ph.D., Professor of Psychological Science, Oregon State University
"As a "senior" member of the health psychology community, I am frequently invited to offer my perspectives on my career choice and path. Finally, in addition to sharing my personal story, I can highly recommend Becoming a Health Psychologist as a definitive source for information about the field and educational and career opportunities, and advice for graduate students and early career psychologists. Four distinguished colleagues provide reliable and actionable guidance and resources, including pearls from others, as a toolkit for anyone contemplating a career in health psychology." - Robert D. Kerns, Ph.D., Professor of Psychiatry, Neurology and Psychology, Yale University
"As a reflection of the maturity of the field of health psychology, this book provides an outstanding practical guide for those students considering a career in this vibrant field, and for graduate students already on the journey. It takes students through everything from applying to graduate school, getting through graduate school, to starting a career, and highlights all the choices, opportunities, and challenges along the way. Will certainly become the go-to guide for a health psychology career." - Norman B. Anderson, Ph.D., Assistant Vice President for Research and Academic Affairs, Florida State University
