This book is an effort to integrate some clinical observations, theoretical concepts, and promising clinical procedures that relate psychological variables to physiological variables. My primary emphasis is on what psychological and behavioral concepts and procedures are most likely to enable us to influence physiological functions. The book covers questions that have fascinated me and with which I have struggled in daily clinical practice. What types of people are most at risk for physical disorders or dysfunctions? Why do some people present psychosocial conflicts somatically and others behaviorally? What is the placebo effect and how does it work? How do you arrange the conditions to alter maladaptive belief systems that contribute to psychopathology and pathophysiology? Do beliefs have biological consequences?
