The conceptualization of Health has undergone several changes, though the pace of change has been variable and No Doubt it has been rapid in the twentieth century. The increasing recognition of the role of psychosocial factors in the causation, prevention and even in the treatment of not only of psychological problems but in case of physical ailments also have contributed. In addition, the development of biopsychosocial model has led to the growth, development and refinement of a newer specialty in Psychology i.e. the health psychology. Health psychologists are becoming vital members of multidisciplinary clinical and research teams in rehabilitation, cardiology, pediatrics, oncology, anesthesiology, Family practice, Dentistry and other Medical fields. Not only this, one can find psychologists working in different clinical and health settings including handling medical emergencies in developing countries like India. All this reflects the growing recognition and acceptance of psychological factors in health/illness. Hope it will be useful to students, researchers and health professionals and layman as well in understanding the concept and dynamics of health and its promotion.
