The Oxford Handbook of Integrative Health Science

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.
