Many of the greatest strides in medical care have neither been
glamorous nor made the front page of The New York Times. They have
been simple measures such as sanitation, immunization, and
provision of clean, whole some food. And even more glamorous
medical breakthroughs and tech niques like heart transplants are
often last-ditch responses to largely preventable medical problems
that required a lifetime to develop. Chang ing those life styles
which may cause, worsen, or exacerbate disease and uti lizing
current medical knowledge may be the most important strides
medicine will make in the next few decades. To meet this challenge,
tech niques have already been developed to change eating and
nutritional pat terns that may lead to obesity and heart disease.
In addition, interventions are being developed for a wide variety
of medical problems. Many of these techniques are based on
behavioral principles. Several years ago, one of the editors of
this book gave a behavioral medi cine seminar for psychiatry
residents concerning behavioral principles and their application to
medicine. As the seminar developed, it became evident that many of
the important articles on the subject were scattered through out a
wide body of literature, which encompassed a variety of disciplines
and journals. No single source was available to provide the state
of the art of this emerging field. This book was spawned, in part,
as an attempt to overcome this deficit."
