Behavioral Medicine in Primary Care

This volume seeks to provide a clear description of the behavioural medicine perspective on a variety of issues, as well as providing tools and extensive clinical case examples to implement in daily practice. The authors of the book define "behavioural medicine" as an interdisciplinary field that unites biologic and pyschosocial approaches to the practice of medicine. It focuses on the role of behaviour from both clinicians and patients - in determining the success of the medical encounter.
