Behavioral medicine in family practice: a unifying approach for the assessment and treatment of psychosocial problems.
Assessment and treatment of the varied psychosocial problems which affect patient health often present primary care physicians with their most difficult and frustating problems. This paper outlines criteria which can be used to select a model of psychosocial treatment compatible with an active family practice clinic. It also describes one treatment model which fits the criteria and can be used to assess and treat a wide range of psychosocial problems common to family practice.
