Many books about behavioral medicine techniques and applications published inthe past are now outdated, and do not reflect the diversity and excitement ofthe field in the new millennium. This Handbook aims to fill this gap by providing an up-to-date survey of methods and applications across the broad range of behavioral medicine research and practice. The chapters will be written by fellows of the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research , a distinguished scientific society of active behavioral medicine researchers. This book will reflectan innovative structure based on cutting-edge methodologies and applications that are relevant across different medical conditions. The book will focus on established and emerging methods of investigation and their application in clinical and basic research settings. This will provide researchers and practitioners with practical advice on methods that can be used in their work, and insights into the scientific knowledge underpinning these applications. Avioral, psychosocial and biomedical science knowledge and techniques relevant to the understanding health and illness, and the application of this knowledge and these techniques to prevention, diagnoses, treatment and rehabilitation. Written by a diverse and respected panel of researchers representing the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research. Surveys the current field of behavioral medicine research and applications using an innovative structure which captures cutting edge practices.
