Women's Health Psychology focuses on health psychology issues of women spanning from young adulthood to post-menopause. It describes how behaviors, attitudes and life-style choices influence women's health, examines interactions between psychological and physical health, and presents these findings within a developmental and diverse sociocultural context. Women's Health Psychology synthesizes research evidence on each topic presented and provides a critical scientific review of key areas for students in women's studies classes, researchers who focus on the psychology of women's health, psychology programs, medical school, public health, nursing and allied health, and a resource for health and mental health professionals who work directly with women.
