Principles and Concepts of Behavioral Medicine A Global Handbook
Edwin B. Fisher, Linda D. Cameron, Alan J. Christensen, Ulrike
Ehlert, Brian Oldenburg, Frank J. Snoek and Yan Guo This definitive
handbook brings together an international array of experts to
present the broad, cells-to-society perspectives of behavioral
medicine that complement conventional models of health, health
care, and prevention. In addition to applications to assessment,
diagnosis, intervention, and management, contributors offer
innovative prevention and health promotion strategies informed by
current knowledge of the mechanisms and pathways of behavior
change. Its range of conceptual and practical topics illustrates
the central role of behavior in health at the individual, family,
community, and population levels, and its increasing importance to
person-centered care. The broad perspectives on risk (e.g., stress,
lifestyle), management issues (e.g., adherence, social support),
and overarching concerns (e.g., inequities, health policy) makes
this reference uniquely global as it addresses the following core
areas: * The range of relationships and pathways between behavior
and health. * Knowing in behavioral medicine; epistemic
foundations. * Key influences on behavior and the relationships
among behavior, health, and illness. * Approaches to changing
behavior related to health. * Key areas of application in
prevention and disease management. * Interventions to improve
quality of life. * The contexts of behavioral medicine science and
practice. Principles and Concepts of Behavioral Medicine opens out
the contemporary world of behavior and health to enhance the work
of behavioral medicine specialists, health psychologists, public
health professionals and policymakers, as well as physicians,
nurses, social workers and those in many other fields of health
practice around the world.
