Course among the first few ‘ he term ‘‘behavior modification”’ is be- ing heard with increasing frequency these days. The term has become familiar in its ap- plication to a vast array of human problems ranging from the simple — how to stop a baby from sucking its thumb — to complex social issues, such as how to change sexual attitudes and behavior to combat the spread of AIDS. The concept of changing behavior for health has given rise to health psychology — a new and rapidly evolving field, less than ten years old. At the cutting edge are two McNeese State University professors who have co-written one of the nation’s first text- books on the subjects. McNeese is among the first universities to teach health psychology and a course using the soon-to-be released text is now in prog- ress. It is the only health psychology course being taught within a 150-mile radius, and one of only about 50 in the nation. Other schools, including at least one other Louisiana uni- versity, will soon be offering a course in health psychology. The book’s authors, Dr. Jess Feist, head of the Department of Psychology and Special Education, and Dr. Linda Brannon, professor of psychology, spent two and a half years researching the material, most from first-hand sources. Their book, Health Psychology: An Introduction to Behavior and Health , will be released by the Wadsworth Publishing Co. in 1988. One aspect of health psychology which differs from traditional psychology approach- es, Feist says, is that it deals with conscious (habitual) behaviors (rather than unconscious factors). It traces the effects of lifestyle choices on physical health. “Health psychologists study the effective- ness of behavioral intervention. Behaviors are learned, and they can be changed. The ul- timate goal is to be healthier while you are living longer.” Underclassmen 267
