Page vii PREFACE Until recently, psychology and medicine have existed to a great extent as parallel universes. However, with the emergence of the behavioral medicine and health psychology fields, the recent research on the critical connection between mind and body, the emphasis on holistic medicine and health promotion, and the recognition of the importance of psychosocial aspects of illnesses, there have been unprecedented interdisciplinary efforts by two disciplines to collaborate on the treatment of disease and maintenance of health. As a consequence, psychology has progressed from playing an ancillary role in medicine to one that is more integrated into the comprehensive treatment of illness, particularly chronic illness, and the promotion of health and wellness.
