1.Course title<br />

Health psychology<br />

2.Course contents<br />

Lecture<br />

The major subjective of the course is to familiarize students with the latest theoretical systems on health<br />

psychology. Amongst those approaches we may indicate to psychosomatic medicine, behavioral medicine,<br />

medical psychology. Theoretical systems, which explain what is the function of the issues have been contained<br />

in some theoretical models such as: biomedical model, holistic-functional model and socio-ecological model.<br />

Studies on health comprise such issue as: biological health, psychic health, social health and spiritual health.<br />

Nonetheless, the most interesting seems to be A. Antonovsky model, salutogenetic model, which in<br />

confrontation with the most of in use, when we consider the question of health, pathogenetic model, clarifies<br />

source of illnesses and describes ways, how to cope and prevent the diseases.<br />

Also, it is crucial how comprehensive are psychological problems connected with some factor, which favor the<br />

origination of illnesses and recuperation. Emotional life of an individual and the ways he copes with stresses and<br />

many other tensions, which may favor the worsening of the state of health, seems to be very vital.<br />

In the end, health preventive treatment, the factors which in the highest degree aid our organism to sustain and<br />

preserve health are discussed, here.<br />
