Introduction |
|---|
This and the next issue of the Journal of Pediatric Psychology (JPP) will include articles submitted for a special issue on "Adolescent Health and Illness," the first issues of JPP devoted exclusively to research on adolescents. A review of recent issues of JPP as well as journals from the fields of clinical psychology and psychiatry reveals that adolescent health has been the focus of considerable scientific attention over the past several years. For example, the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology publishes a special issue on health psychology every 10 years; for the first time, an article on "adolescent health psychology" will appear in the 2002 installment of this series (Williams, Holmbeck, & Neff, in press
). Also, a former Section of Division 12 (the Section on
Clinical Child Psychology) of the American Psychological Association (APA) is
now Division 53 of APA and has been renamed the Society |
