Health is influenced by physical, intellectual, social, spiritual and emotional determinants. In this course, the interaction of these determinants is explored as they relate to the prevention, onset, and progression of, and recovery from, disease. The aim is to provide an overview of the mind/body connection in relation to overall wellness using established theoretical and applied perspectives, e.g., cognitive behaviorism, psychoneuroimmunology, and guidelines for healthy lifestyles.
