"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 as well as 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 work 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.
