Sage Publications Child Health Psychology A Biopsychosocial Perspective by Julie Turner Cobb
Childhood Health Psychology is the first text dedicated on the topic of health psychology as it applies to children and adolescents, drawing on research from several related disciplines including psychoneuroimmunology and developmental psychobiology. With an overarching biopsychosocial lifespan perspective, Turner-Cobb examines the effects of early life experience on health outcome, as well as covering the experience of acute and chronic illness during childhood. With a perspective designed to both inform and to challenge, this stimulating textbook introduces students to the central relevance and many applications of child health psychology. Child Health Psychology will be of interest to final year undergraduate and postgraduate students in health and clinical psychology, as well as to students in health sciences, nursing, and childhood studies.
