| Summary |
"Drawing on data from social personality clinical and health psychology a leading authority on the subject examines the psychosocial demographic contextual, and provider determinants of patient compliance with physician recommendations and stresses their multiplicative influence. Alan J. Christensen presents several theories to account for this behavior and then offers his own new interactional framework, one that applies broader fundamental theorizing about psychological and behavior change to the problem and thereby sheds new light on efforts to promote adherence." "User-friendly and highly relevant to present-day concerns, the book will be of keen interest to behavioral and health psychologists, health care professionals, and policy-makers."--BOOK JACKET |
