Health Psychology; advanced course (Research Master)

 

Building on the course 'Health Psychology', this course focuses on four important themes in the field of health psychology, namely the etiology of illness and survival, changing health behavior, adaptation to illness, and psychological interventions for patients with a somatic disease. The aim is to provide knowledge and insight in the most recent developments in psychological and medical-sociological theories relevant for theory-driven research in medical settings, as well as for evaluating the effects of psychosocial interventions among patients with a somatic disease.

After an introduction of each theme by the lecturer, the students will read the appropriate papers and work on an individual assignment. Feedback will be provided by fellow students and the lecturer during the next class meeting. For the final assignment the students choose one of the four topics. They have to search for additional literature and write an essay. One of the lecturers will supervise and be available for providing feedback.
