Does stress affect the course of chronic disease? Are friendships and community activities vital to recovery after surgery? Are blood pressure measurements affected by where or how the test is taken? For over a quarter century, Behavioral Medicine has answered such questions by publishing well-written and researched articles about the mind-body relationship. Formerly known as the Journal of Human Stress, Behavioral Medicine is a quarterly, multidisciplinary journal that physicians, nurses, psychologists, and counselors will not want to miss. Three-part, state-of-the-art syntheses devoted to a single topic (disability in older adults, smoking, interpersonal violence) are published on occasion. Each of these triptychs includes a careful review of the literature, practical suggestions to guide clinicians translating scientific knowledge into action, and a thoughtful discussion of desired changes in public policy, education, and insurance coverage.

壓力會影響慢性疾病的進程嗎?友誼和社區活動對術后恢復至關重要嗎?血壓測量是否受測試地點或方式的影響?四分之一個多世紀以來，行為醫學通過發表關于身心關系的文筆優美的研究文章來回答這些問題。《行為醫學》的前身是《人類壓力雜志》(Journal of Human Stress)，是一本多學科的季刊，醫生、護士、心理學家和咨詢師都不想錯過。每一種三聯療法都包括對文獻的仔細回顧，指導臨床醫生將科學知識轉化為行動的實用建議，以及對公共政策、教育和保險覆蓋范圍的預期變化的深思熟慮的討論。
