Eunike Sri Tyas Suci, together with Lidia Laksana Hidajat and Nani Nurrachman, coordinated the publication of this edited volume Sixteen writers from nine universities in Indonesia contributed to this book The book is born out of Tyas' concern as the chair of the Indonesian Health Psychology Association (2018-2022). Tyas observed that no comprehensive health psychology books are available in the Indonesian language. In response to this, she decided to publish an all-inclusive book on the topic that takes the specific Indonesian context into account.

"Going through this program is one of the most exciting and unique experiences I have ever had. I learned a lot through my time being abroad and there are so many things that you can only learn by doing a semester abroad I am very grateful for this opportunity as I have met new friends, new opportunities, and urged me to go outside of my comfort zone "

Korea University Seoul, South Korea

"I learned a lot through this program, both academically and also skillfully. More importantly, I was able to get hands-on experience on living all by myself, how to fend for myself and become a more independent person This is definitely an opportunity unlike any other, and I am truly blessed to have experienced this exchange program as it has given me so many new insights and perspectives "

"Becoming an exchange student for the very first time is definitely an experience that I will never forget I have learned so many new things about myself through living alone as an Indonesian student in Europe, from being pushed out of my comfort zone, creating friendships that will last lifetimes, through becoming a self-sufficient independent young adult I will forever be thankful and cherish this opportunity that has been given to me, and I look forward to seeing more UNIKA Atma Jaya students representing Indonesia and this campus in top worldwide universities in the future!"
