Psychological interventions are becoming increasingly popular in contemporary societies. This volume is intended to help psychologists and other professionals understand how general psychological knowledge can serve to guide local and particular interventions.

Offers an idiographic perspective in order to discuss the concept of health, to define its cultural meanings and possible polysemy, and its areas of pertinence and intervention, trying to offer possible alternatives to the "normalization" of health and creating new incentives for reflection.
