As a graduate student a decade ago, I recall vividly reading the
inaugural issue of the Journal of Behavioral Medicine when it
appeared in 1978. Its purpose was described as "a broadly conceived
interdisciplinary publication devoted to fur thering our
understanding of physical health and illness through knowledge and
techniques of behavioral science: ' The articles in that first
issue addressed such topics as the biofeedback treatment of
neuromuscular disorders, anxiety manage ment of Type A behavior,
and premorbid psychological factors related to cancer incidence. At
that time, coursework in behavioral medicine was in its infancy at
my university, and I, along with many classmates, was eager to
learn more of this "new and emerging field: ' Thinking back to
those times, it is astonishing for one to reflect on the rapid
evolution of behavioral medicine and its current status as a
clinical and scientific discipline. Organizations such as the
Society of Behavioral Medicine now include a broad-based membership
that is convened yeady at a major convention. In addition to the
Journal of Behavioral Medicine, professionals can avail them selves
of several other specialty journals (Annals of Behavioral Medicine,
Behavioral Medicine Abstracts, Journal of Developmental and
Behavioral Pedi atrics) as well as the numerous articles on
behavioral medicine that appear regu larly in the clinical
psychology, psychiatry, rehabilitation, and behavior therapy
literature. And behavioral medicine services and training programs
are encoun tered with increasing frequency within clinic, hospital,
and academic settings."
