title: Behavioral medicine in the general hospital.
abstract: The application of behavioral procedures to the treatment of medical disorder has greatly expanded the techniques available to the psychiatrist practicing in the general hospital. While there are diverse behavioral strategies that have proven quite useful, the bases for these are limited and readily implemented in the hospital setting. In this paper, the behavioral methods of assessment and various strategies of treatment of medical, psychophysiological, and "psychosomatic" disorders are overviewed.
