The new psychology of health : unlocking the social cure / Catherine Haslam, Jolanda Jetten, Tegan Cruwys, Genevieve Dingle, Alex Haslam. - London : Routledge, 2017. - 256 pages ; 24 cm

This title presents a new approach to the psychology of health which suggests social ties are just as important for your health as physical factors such as diet and exercise. Pioneered by the authors over the last decade, this points to the capacity for group life -and the social identities that underpin it - to be the source of a potent 'social cure' (while sometimes also being a social curse).
