Everyone reasons probabilistically more or less constantly, figures Nickerson (experimental psychology, Tufts U.), and he is interested in how well they do so. He explores its origins, its status, its use in various contexts, what recent research has revealed about it, and other facets. His history, not of gambling but of the serious study of it, begins with the seminal correspondence between Pascal and Fermat in 1654. He assumes no specialized knowledge, but the ability to learn and follow sometimes complicated notation.

Brown (Medical U. of South Carolina) introduces this handbook's 38 chapters by explaining how provision of mental health care to youth has paralleled changes in other areas of health care. For example, schools must face the fact that 10-15 percent of US school children have a chronic medical condition that may be influenced by lifestyle. Contributors discuss working with schools to prevent and manage health problems and their psychological sequela; early identification and intervention efforts; and conditions encountered in school settings from asthma to AIDS. Other topics addressed include peer relations, professional training, and ethical and legal issues.
