• Discuss how psychological theory can be applied to understand and describe the source of the problem and to treat the issue for the individual.
You may choose the psychological theory/theories you wish to apply (e.g., biopsychosocial theory, stress theories, adherence theories, health promotion theories, and social norms theories, as long as they are discussed in the literature).
• Describe how health psychology/health psychologists can aid individual and families in coping with the chronic health issue. Please use research to support your response.
