LGBT-Parent Families
LGBT-Parent Families is the first handbook to provide a comprehensive examination of this underserved area. Reflecting the nature of this issue, the volume is notably interdisciplinary, with contributions from scholars in psychology, sociology, human development, family studies, gender studies, sexuality studies, legal studies, social work, and anthropology. Additionally, scholarship from regions beyond the U.S. including England, Australia, Canada, and South Africa is presented. In addition to gender and sexuality, all contributors address issues of social class, race, and ethnicity in their chapters.
Adolescent Health Problems
Adolescence, a dynamic period of physical and psychological growth, presents young people with a variety of developmental challenges that can have a significant impact on health-related behaviors. Because adolescents exhibit distinct patterns of morbidity and mortality, health practitioners are focusing increased attention on their unique health care needs. ADOLESCENT HEALTH PROBLEMS: BEHAVIORAL PERSPECTIVES, edited by Jan L. Wallander and Lawrence J. Siegel, presents the work of leading researchers who investigate the connections between health and behavior in both healthy and chronically ill adolescents. Sponsored by the Society of Pediatric Psychology as part of the series Advances in Pediatric Psychology, this ground breaking volume brings the literature of the field up-to-date, providing vital theoretical and clinical findings with broad implications for health promotion in adolescence and beyond.
Intensive Longitudinal Methods
This book offers a complete, practical guide to doing an intensive longitudinal study with individuals, dyads, or groups. It provides the tools for studying social, psychological, and physiological processes in everyday contexts, using methods such as diary and experience sampling. A range of engaging, worked-through research examples with datasets are featured. Coverage includes how to: select the best intensive longitudinal design for a particular research question, apply multilevel models to within-subject designs, model within-subject change processes for continuous and categorical outcomes, assess the reliability of within-subject changes, assure sufficient statistical power, and more. Several end-of-chapter write-ups illustrate effective ways to present study findings for publication. Datasets and output in SPSS, SAS, Mplus, HLM, MLwiN, and R for the examples are available on the companion website (www.intensivelongitudinal.com).

Their Time Has Come
The lives of youth with disabilities have changed radically in the past fifty years. Youth who are coming of age right now are the first generation to receive educational services throughout childhood and adolescence. Disability policies have opened up opportunities to youth, and they have responded by getting higher levels of education than ever before. Yet many youth are being left behind, compared to their peers without disabilities. Youth with disabilities often still face major obstacles to independence.
