REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH PSYCHOLOGY This wide-ranging and well-researched book goes well beyond the traditional confines of reproductive psychology. It expertly interweaves evidence on the biological, psychological, social and cultural factors that affect the reproductive development, behaviours, and decision-making of both women and men. As well as the expected chapters on sexual development, pregnancy and birth, and artificial reproduction, it addresses sex and gender development across the lifespan, from childhood to old age; parenthood; and reproductive issues for under-represented groups such as homosexual men and women, intersex individuals, and those who are childless by choice. The book will be a valuable reference for psychologists and sociologists, as well as midwives, gynaecologists and obstetricians, and indeed anyone with research or clinical interests that intersect with reproduction and with gender. Christina Lee, Professor of Health Psychology, University of Queensland This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to psychological aspects of reproductive health throughout the lifespan. Drawing on psychological theory and a wealth of empirical research, the importance of psychological factors in reproductive health is clearly demonstrated, conceptualized within a broadly bio-psycho-social model. The coverage of a broad range of topics, from foetal growth to menopause, including adolescence, menstruation, contraception, abortion, fertility, pregnancy and post-natal experience along the way, is a great strength. This book will become a key resource for health psychologists, nurses, and medical students who wish to understand psychological aspects of reproductive experience. Jane M. Ussher, Professor of Women s Health Psychology, University of Western Sydney and Author of The Madness of Women: Myth and ExperienceThis much-needed resource brings together the most up-to-date and relevant research from a variety of disciplines to give a comprehensive account of the psychological factors surrounding reproductive health today. Olga van den Akker provides a multidisciplinary exploration of all stages of the reproductive life span, from embryonic, infant, child and adolescent sexual and reproductive development through reproductive and sexual health in adulthood and old age. The book addresses the psychological influences on and impacts of, sex, gender and reproduction as well as adjustment to life after sexual or reproductive success, failure or disease and disability. Together, the wide variety of topics are illuminating and challenging, fostering a deeper understanding of the context of reproductive health through the life span.; PDF; Reference & Languages > Psychology, Wiley<
