The main purpose of this passage is to ----.
Psychology’s involvement in health dates back to the
beginning of the 20th century, but at that time, few
psychologists were involved in medicine. The
psychosomatic medicine movement sought to bring
psychological factors into the understanding of disease,
but that view gave way to the biopsychosocial approach
to health and disease. By the 1970s, psychologists had
begun to develop research and treatment aimed at
chronic disease and health promotion. This research
and treatment led to the founding of two new fields:
behavioural medicine and health psychology.
Behavioural medicine is concerned with applying the
knowledge and techniques of behavioural research to
physical health, including prevention, diagnosis,
treatment and rehabilitation. Health psychology strives
to enhance health, prevent and treat disease, identify
risk factors, improve the health care system and shape
public opinion regarding health issues. Health
psychology overlaps with behavioural medicine, and the
two professions have many common methods of
diagnosis and treatment. However, behavioural
medicine is an interdisciplinary field, whereas health
psychology is a speciality within the field of psychology
that is concerned with issues of physical health.
