The Oxford Handbook of Integrative Health Science

Edited by Carol D. Ryff and Robert F. Krueger

Oxford Library of Psychology

Responds to critical need to understand human health from an integrative approach
Demonstrates how integrative science is enacted via the MIDUS study and shows a rich array of findings that have followed
Underscores the importance of a life-course approach to integrative health science, which includes studying the long-term reach of early life experience to adult health
Contextualizes health research by linking it to experiences in work and family life
Takes mainstream topics in psychology (cognition, emotion, personality, well-being) and links them to diverse health outcomes, including biological risk factors
Provides significant attention social inequalities and health via elaboration of the intervening psychosocial and biological pathways
Advances important knowledge regarding factors that prevent or delay onset of health problems

Description

Most health research to date has been pursued within the confines of scientific disciplines that are guided by their own targeted questions and research strategies. Although useful, such inquiries are inherently limited in advancing understanding the interplay of wide-ranging factors that shape human health.

The Oxford Handbook of Integrative Health Science embraces an integrative approach that seeks to put together sociodemographic factors (age, gender, race, socioeconomic status) known to contour rates of morbidity and mortality with psychosocial factors (emotion, cognition, personality, well-being, social connections), behavioral factors (health practices) and stress exposures (caregiving responsibilities, divorce, discrimination) also known to influence health. A further overarching theme is to explicate the biological pathways through which these various effects occur. The biopsychosocial leitmotif that inspires this approach demands new kinds of studies wherein wide-ranging assessments across different domains are assembled on large population samples. The MIDUS (Midlife in the U.S.) national longitudinal study exemplifies such an integrative study, and all findings presented in this collection draw on MIDUS. The way the study evolved, via collaboration of scientists working across disciplinary lines, and its enthusiastic reception from the scientific community are all part of the larger story told. Embedded within such tales are important advances in the identification of key protective or vulnerability factors: these pave the way for practice and policy initiatives seeking to improve the nation's health.

Author Information

Carol D. Ryff is Hilldale Professor of Psychology and Director of the Institute on Aging at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is Principal Investigator of the Midlife in the U.S. (MIDUS) national longitudinal study, which has become a major forum for integrative health science. Her research centers on the interplay of psychological, social, and biological factors that influence health, including in contexts of life adversity.

Robert F. Krueger is Hathaway Distinguished Professor and Distinguished McKnight University Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota. He completed his undergraduate and graduate work at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, and his clinical internship at Brown University. Professor Krueger's major interests lie at the intersection of research on aging, health, personality, psychopathology, and behavior genetics.
