“…We might add that the child's tendency toward extreme independence and oppositional behavior at this time can result in problems in eliciting compliance and cooperation with the medical regimen. For example, Wright, Woodcock, and Scott (1969) described the treatment of oral medication refusal in two 18-to-24-month-old children and indicated that the behaviors and attitudes exhibited by the two young patients-obstinacy, self-assertion, refusal to submit to demands of others--were typical of the Autonomy stage.…”

This article attempts to illustrate the importance of a developmental perspective in child health psychology. Research is reviewed relating motor, cognitive, and psychosocial development to exposure to health hazards, to an understanding of behavior-health relationships, to the assumption of personal responsibility for health, and to behavioral and emotional responses to illness and injury. In presenting this model of integration between developmental and health psychology, we propose that a developmental perspective be added as a fourth dimension to the commonly employed three-dimensional conceptualization of health psychology.

“…For this, behavior therapies are generally superior to their alternatives. Behavior therapy techniques have emerged as the treatment of choice for a variety of disorders, including enuresis (Wright & Craig, 1974), obesity (Wright et al, 1976), anorexia nervosa ("Behavior Analysis," 1972Hussey, 1974), tics (Azrin & Nunn, 1973), refusal of oral medication (Wright, Woodcock, & Scott, 1969), and psychogenic vomiting (Lang, 1965). But though behavior therapies have distinguished themselves as the treatment of choice for a variety of disorders, they are by no means uniformly applicable.…”

Health care psychology for children emerged before its adult counterpart. The Yale Conference on Behavioral Medicine (Schwartz & Weiss, Note 1), generally regarded as the inaugural event for health care psychology for adults, occurred a decade after the field of pediatric psychology had achieved formal structure. Thus, in this area, a prophecy from the Bible is fulfilled: "And a little child shall lead them" (Isaiah 11:6).Lightner Witmer may well have been the first pediatric health care psychologist. Brotemarkle (1947) and Watson (1953) both noted that Witmer was interested in "the types of children now quite familiar to the pediatrician: those with physical defects, the retarded, those with learning problems as well as emotionally disturbed children" (Routh, 1970, p. 469). From the medical side of this multidisciplinary endeavor, John Anderson, one of the first physicians to address the topic formally, spoke at the 81st annual meeting of the American Medical Association in 1930 on "Pediatrics and Child Psychology." The talk was later published in the Journal of the American Medical 'Association and is interesting in light of its cautious pessimism:In an age when the word "psychology" is so widely used by so many different people in such a variety of ways, one approaches the discussion of the relationship between psychology and pediatrics with some fear and trembling. It is in part due to a feeling that when the discussion is completed, psychology may seem to be a much more prosaic endeavor than most people believe and hold out somewhat less hope for meeting all our unresolved problems of human relations, at least within the next generation. (Anderson, 1930, p. 101S) But Anderson went on to describe psychologists as possessing "as keen a comprehension of scientific methods, as honest an appreciation of difficulties of making valid generalizations, and as well-trained imaginations as those who are found in any other of the great scientific disciplines."

“…Another medical problem which is really a behavioral one involves refusal of oral medication which is necessary to sustain life. Wright, Woodcock and Scott (1969) report on the treatment of such difficulties. Most of these cases are children in the two to three year age bracket.…”
