This volume arose from a discussion meeting entitled "Applied
Psychophysiology in Cardiovascular Research: Clinical and
Methodological Issues" held in May 1984 in Linz, Federal Republic
of Germany. The meeting was orga- nised by the Commission of the
European Communities' Con- certed Action on Quantification of
Parameters for the study of Breakdown in Human Adaptation, in
conjunction wi th the Department of Internal Medicine, Uni versi ty
of Bonn. The Concerted Action is part of the Medical and Public
Health Research Programme of the CEC, and its pur- pose is to
encourage multidisciplinary research into the development,
refinement and standardisation of parameters used to measure
psychosocial, physiological and endocri- nological aspects of
breakdown. This meeting is one of a series in which detailed
consideration is given to spe- cific methodological issues within
the field of research linking stress with disease. However, the
contributions to this book have been extended and restructured
consid- erably since their presentation at the meeting. Addition-
al chapters have been prepared that address important is- sues
which were not discussed at the meeting itself. The editors are
grateful to the Commission of the Europe- an Communities and the
University of Bonn for their sup- port, and also acknowledge the
financial assistance of Bayer AG, Ciba/Geigy, Hoffman-La Roche,
Boehringer Ing- heim and Ver1a-Pharm. We extend special thanks to
Sue Wilson for the care with which she has prepared the manu-
script for publication.
