Introduction
The recognition that behavioural scientists have a contribution to make to treatment outside the psychiatric arena was first widely acknowledged at a conference on behavioural medicine held in Yale, USA, in 1977 (Schwartz and Weiss, 1977). Since that time, the range of treatments which have been used, and target conditions to which psychological treatments have been applied, has expanded enormously. A growing number of specialist journals and handbooks are now available and illustrate the expansion in research in the area. The involvement of health psychologists in clinical settings has also increased, allowing research developments to be put into practice (Pearce and Wardle, 1989). The readings in this section have been selected to illustrate the range of psychological interventions which have proved effective in clinical settings.
