Health Psychology: Health psychology is a discipline that focuses on how psychological, behavioral, and cultural factors contribute to the onset, maintenance, and attitudes towards treatment of physical and mental illnesses. Health psychologists work in a variety of settings including hospitals, academic research centers, universities, medical schools, VAs, rehabilitation settings, integrated healthcare settings, and health promotion or outreach programs. Health psychologists often take the biopsychosocial approach which means they are interested in biological factors (e.g. viruses, hypertension, etc.), psychological factors (e.g. attitudes towards treatment, impuslivity, etc.) and social factors (e.g. culture, socioeconomic status, etc.). Health psychological also includes many subfields including community health psychology and critical health psychology. Critical health psychology aims to analyze how systemic factors such as institutional oppression contribute to health disparities across marginalized populations. To be a health psychologist, one may pursue a PhD in health psychology, counseling psychology, clinical psychology, or community psychology.
