Trained as one of the first generation of health psychologists, Prof. Revenson brings a social-ecological perspective to the study of how stress and coping processes affect psychological adjustment to chronic physical illness, and how these processes are influenced by the social context. She is the co-author or co-editor of nine volumes, including Couples Coping with Stress and the Handbook of Health Psychology, now in its second edition.
She is an Associate Editor of the Journal Annals of Behavioral Medicine, and is on the editorial board of the journal Health Psychology. She was the Founding Editor-in-Chief of the journal, Women's Health: Gender, Behavior and Policy. Dr. Revenson is a Past-President of the Division of Health Psychology of the American Psychological Association and in 2013 was awarded the Nathan Perry Career Service Award in Health Psychology for her contributions to the advancement of health psychology as a field, nationally and internationally.
