The objective of this course is to explore the application of behavioral science to the promotion of individual health and the practice of medicine. Topics include: models of health behavior change, assessment and prevention of health risk behaviors, psychological factors associated with specific medical conditions, and the nature of the patient-physician relationship. Students will examine and critically evaluate theories and research underlying the most common clinical interventions employed by professional health psychologists in medical settings, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, biofeedback, and stress management techniques.
