About This Item
New Haven: Yale University Press, 2004. Hardback octavo, dustjacket, as new condition (in as new dustjacket). 222 pp. Examines in detail the effect of social relationships on physical health. It surveys and assesses the research that shows not only that supportive relationships protect us from a multitude of mental health problems, but also that the absence of social support increases the risk of dying from various diseases. Discusses the links between social support and mortality from cardiovascular disease, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Investigates whether social support is more effective for some individuals and within certain cultures. After evaluating existing conceptual models linking social support to health outcomes, offers his own broader perspective on the issue.
