By framing each chapter within the developmental and biopsychosocial context of women in contemporary culture, this comprehensive and scholarly resource covers the range and wealth of current topics that any clinician or clinical researcher would need in one outstanding and cohesive collection. Rather than assume a disease-focused approach, the book takes a constructive and positive perspective through its focus on women's wellbeing and health challenges, which is refreshing. The highly select group of authors provides perspective from those who have been well entrenched in the field of women's health throughout their careers as well as some newer rising stars. The empirical foundation by which these authors integrate benchmark and clinical intervention research provides an invaluable resource not only for researchers, but also for clinicians and educators. As a professor, practitioner, and board-certified psychology specialist who provides services to women in an evidence-based practice, I view this book as an invaluable contribution. Moreover, academics and clinicians from the full range health disciplines including medicine, nursing, social work, will find this book accessible, informative, and most important, applicable to their practice.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eChristine Maguth Nezu\u003c\/b\u003e, PhD, ABPP, Professor of Psychology \u0026amp; Medicine, Drexel University  \u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eWomen's Health Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e is simply an outstanding and timely resource for researchers, educators and clinicians across the health professions. Nationally known psychologists Drs. Mary Spiers, Pamela Geller and Jacqueline Kloss have brought together distinguished experts who provide evidenced based reviews of a broad range of women’s health issues across the life span. The breadth and depth of the chapters have already been invaluable for grant writing, and for translating research to practice during clinical care as well as educational workshops for psychologists, physicians, and nursing professionals. The four sections cover intersecting and complex issues affecting women's health such as contextual, diversity and employment factors; well-being and health; sexual and reproductive experiences and complications among women of all ages; as well as disability and chronic conditions. I highly recommend this invaluable resource for any health professional committed to improving women’s health and well-being.\"\u003cbr\u003e —\u003cb\u003eHelen L.
