Definition
- Health concerns, even those that are not life threatening, profoundly affect people's emotional, social, sexual, and vocational functioning and cause disruptions in valued life goals and roles. Counseling psychology's core emphasis on enhancing optimal development across the life span is especially helpful when considering the interaction of disease with normal developmental processes, as well as during the long-term course of many chronic diseases and health concerns.
