Foundations of Health Service Psychology 2e describes a comprehensive science-based approach to the clinical practice of psychology. It systematically applies scientific advances in understanding human psychology to updating the conceptual frameworks used for education, practice, and research in health service psychology.

This new edition includes significant elaboration on recent research. Neural�and behavioral science research regarding many aspects of cognition, emotion, and behavior has strengthened substantially�over the past decade as has the role of evolutionary theory for understanding why humans are "designed� the way we are.

The new edition is also reorganized to streamline the presentation.

Timothy Melchert’s research focuses on the theoretical and scientific frameworks used to guide education and practice in behavioural healthcare. He utilizes a science-based biopsychosocial framework to resolve much of the theoretical confusion and professional conflicts that have long plagued the field of professional psychology. He is the author of Foundations of Professional Psychology, First Edition (Academic Press) and Biopsychosocial Practice: A Science-Based Framework for Behavioral Health Care (APA Press).
