Books by Heather Munro Prescott

Explores the fascinating connections between university health centers and the evolution of American health and medicine. This book examines the relationship between administrative regulation of ""student bodies"" and broader social-cultural views about young adults and their status in nineteenth- and twentieth-century America.

The first book to trace the history of adolescent medicine, A Doctor of Their Own draws on oral histories of physicians in the field, patient records from adolescent medical facilities, medical and popular advice literature, and letters from teenagers and their parents.
