How does a doctor or therapist bridge the gap between particulars
and generalizations regarding patients and various phenomena or
diseases? The authors of this volume illustrate the multiple ways
practitioners in the fields of clinical psychology and medicine
address the tension between the universal nature of scientific
knowledge and its particular applications. They discuss the fact
that some decisions, if made erroneously, have impacts that cannot
be reversed. An error in the realms of medicine, ecology, peace,
and war brings with it psychological strategies that differ from
those a practitioner faces where errors are correctable. How does a

and war brings with it psychological strategies that differ from
those a practitioner faces where errors are correctable. The
disciplines of psychology and medicine have two shared goals. The
first is that both disciplines seek a basic understanding about how
human beings exist in their ordinary biological and psychological
worlds and the second is the attempt to describe and treat
disruptions of each person's healthy state of being. Therefore, the
four coeditors uncover areas of mutual interest between the two
disciplines and the basis for the conflicts that have arisen in
their fields.
