Chronic Physical Disorders:
Behavioral Medicine's Perspective
Edited by Alan J. Christensen and Michael H. Antoni

In Chronic Physical Disorders, the most prominent figures in the field of
behavioral medicine argue why a biopsychosocial perspective is crucial to
reducing the tremendous personal and societal burden of chronic disease. In
Part I of this state of the art text, a broad set of theoretical and applied
issues are discussed with respect to the role that research can play in the
management of chronic physical disorders. Part II focuses on specific
chronic disorders, including chapters on coronary heart disease, cancer,
diabetes, chronic pain, HIV and AIDS, end-stage renal disease, asthma, and
arthritis. Included in each of these chapters is a basic review of
biomedical aspects of each disorder followed by a review of the primary
behavioral, psychological, and socioenvironmental issues that are most
relevant to a given disorder.
