Amer Psychological Assn

Clinical Health Psychology and Primary Care offers practical guidance on establishing an integrated primary care health psychology practice. The authors describe common medical treatments to help psychologists collaborate in an informed manner with physician colleagues on such common health complaints and diseases as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, asthma, obesity, and gastrointestinal disorders. Each chapter also covers the psychosocial and behavioral factors related to the condition, and biopsychosocial strategies that can be used by psychologists to intervene within the context of a primary care appointment. Some chapters can also help psychologists in working with patients to modify such health-compromising behaviors as tobacco use, excessive alcohol or drug use, and physical inactivity, and to help patients cope with chronic or terminal illness. This book will promote health psychology research and clinical practice in the primary care setting for the benefit of both patients and physicians.

Clinical Essentials Of Pain Management

Diseases & Physical Ailments

In ""Pain Management"", Dr. Robert J. Gatchel shows how his biopsychosocial approach to treating clients with pain can uncover the complex factors that create pain. Every client experiences pain differently, so it is important to do a thorough assessment that covers physiological, social, and psychological facets of a client before recommending a course of treatment. In this session, Dr. Gatchel works with a 59-year-old woman, first evaluating her psychological and medical status to determine the causes of her pain and then helping her with the anxiety she feels about the pain.
