Desde su aparición formal en la década de los ochenta, la Psicología de la Salud ha sido un área prolífica y ha contribuido de forma sustancial a la conceptualización, evaluación e intervención de distintos procesos relacionados con la salud y la enfermedad; en especial, en los últimos años, se ha encontrado una gran evidencia que soporta la eficacia de las intervenciones de la Psicología de la Salud en distintas enfermedades crónicas. Esta obra es producto de proyectos de investigación realizados por sus directores en las líneas “salud y estilos de vida” y “humanización en salud” del Grupo Psicología, Salud y Calidad de Vida de la Pontificia Universidad Javeriana Cali, al cual pertenecen. Este grupo ha sido reconocido como de máxima calidad científica y tecnológica por Colciencias.

For these reasons, the rental market may become a key instrument to compliment the region's housing policy.

Challenging conventional thinking in defense and security sectors, Transforming the War on Drugs constitutes the first comprehensive and systematic effort to theoretically, conceptually, and empirically investigate the impacts of the war on drugs. The contributors trace the consequences of the war on drugs across vulnerable regions, including South America and Central America, West...
