In this episode, we speak to Dr Bronwyne Coetzee, a psychology researcher and senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University, who provides a clear overview of health psychology. In this podcast, Dr Coetzee argues for its critical importance within a context of rising non-communicable diseases, syndemics, and substantial structural barriers to health. In addition, she explains the field’s current status as a formally unrecognised sub-discipline within the country, and discusses the next steps required to establish it as a professional registration and subject of university programs.
