Front Cover; PERSONALITY AND DISEASE; PERSONALITY AND DISEASE; Copyright; CONTENTS; LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS; ABOUT THE EDITOR; PREFACE; REFERENCES; 1 -- A Brief Historical Overview on Links Between Personality and Health; A BRIEF HISTORICAL OVERVIEW ON (ASSUMED) LINKS BETWEEN PERSONALITY AND HEALTH; The Neolithic Age, Ancient Greece, and the Middle Ages; The Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment; Personality and Health in the 20th Century; CURRENT MODELS OF LINKS BETWEEN PERSONALITY AND HEALTH: (BASIC) PERSONALITY TRAITS.

A tremendous amount of research has been performed looking at the relationship between personality and disease. Research on this topic has been spread throughout scientific journals on psychology, behavioral health, psychoneuroimmunology, oncology, and epidemiology. Personality and Disease brings this research together in one place for the first time. With contributions from world experts, the book summarizes research findings on personality as it relates to cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma and allergies, dementia, and more. Is there such a thing as a cancer- prone personality? Do sadness, anger, stress, or shyness affect the likelihood that we will fall ill to specific diseases? Can we protect ourselves from disease through a positive outlook? This book will address both what we know, and what we persist in believing despite evidence to the contrary, and why such beliefs persist in the face of evidence.
