"Covering an eclectic set of topics, from work-stress to brain
injury, from a variety of professional perspectives, [The Social
Cure] is clearly written and well-structured ... [and] should prove
intriguing and informative for academic researchers, healthcare
professionals and policy makers." - Wendy Cousins, University of
Ulster, UK, in The PsychologistThat social context has powerful,
manifold effects on individual and community well-being is now
widely recognized across disciplinary and ideological boundaries.
The Social Cure provides an impressive and diverse array of
empirical evidence showing how pervasive these effects are. The
incisive conclusion is packed with insights into the implications
of this research for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers
in many fields. Let's hope that these lessons are widely heeded." -
Robert D. Putnam, Professor of Public Policy at Harvard University,
USA "For decades, we have known that social groups and networks
influence health outcomes. This wonderfully lucid, insightful book
explains how, and why. What is more, it suggests ways we can use
this knowledge to improve health and well-being. It is a valuable
resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers alike." -
Deborah Prentice, Professor of Psychology, Princeton University,
USA "This volume does an excellent job at integrating different
perspectives on the complex relationship between identity and
health. It assesses the risks and resources associated with social
identities and outlines concrete interventions that take advantage
of these insights. It is an invaluable resource for all those
interested in health issues in psychology." - Naomi Ellemers,
Professor of Social Psychology of Organisations, Leiden University,
The NetherlandsThis educative, wideranging and informative book
argues that participation in social groups improves mental health
and well being. While neuropsychologists may be most interested in
the four chapters that are directly concerned with neurologically
impaired people, the remaining chapters will inform them of the
benefits of groups in other areas such as survivors of disasters,
rape victims and concentration camp survivors. - Barbara Wilson,
The Oliver Zangwill Centre for Neuropsychological Rehabilitation,
Ely, UK
"Meeting its objectives to educate and inspire, the book would
appeal to researchers, academics, practitioners and anyone wishing
to further understand the importance of belonging to social
groups." - Kelly O'Brien, Toorak College and the University of
Melbourne, Australia, in The Australian Educational and
Developmental Psychologist"Covering an eclectic set of topics, from
