Just a quick post to alert our readers to the new Recommended Books section of this website. The goal is the create the ultimate Health Psychology / Medical Psychology / Behavioral Medicine book list. Hopefully many books will eventually receive formal reviews. Only books that we have personally read or are well thought of by respected colleagues are included in this section. Many more books will be added in the near future.

You can access the Recommended Books section here or by using the navigational menu above.

I just completed a small redesign of the Recommended Books/Reading section. Books are now sorted by category to help readers quickly identify interested topics. Additionally, the Statistics|Research Design and Health/Medical Psychology sections received a few new recommended books this evening. Last, I plan to add numerous new books to all sections over the coming week.
