Synopsis: Preface: The primary subject matter of medicine is the patient Diagnosis and treatment of disease is an integral part of the patient's care, but the latter includes, in addition, an understanding of the behavioral aspects of the patient and of the surrounding environment, including the family and the health care personnel. Until recently, behavioral aspects of patient care have been relegated by many physicians to the "art of medicine" rather than the "science of medicine," and much of the information relevant to the care of a patient as a person came from researchers in nonmedical disciplines, often through the study of normal healthy persons rather than patients. This led to conceptual and practical gaps between behavioral science and the practice of medicine. In our work with medical students as lecturers and seminar leaders in a basic behavioral science course, as teachers and preceptors of medical student clinical clerks both in psychiatry and medicine, and as faculty members intimately involved in curriculum development at the Yale University School of Medicine, we became acutely aware that many students were bemoaning the lack of a good practical and relevant textbook that would bridge the gap between the behavioral sciences and medicine. Initially, our plan was to present information relevant to medicine gleaned primarily from behavioral sciences under the tentative title "Behavioral Foundations of Medical Practice." In the course of actual writing, however, we came to realize that straight presentations of behavioral science knowledge, however relevant, would be of limited value to the student of medicine. We have found in our liaison consultation practice and teaching that the clinician's best use of behavioral science data is achieved when it can be integrated with the biological clinical data of medicine. We also realized that integration of behavioral and biological foundations of medicine was not taught anywhere in the medical curriculum. Al-though many experienced physicians have, on their own, achieved such an integration, many others never even attempt it. Without basic behavioral science information, this integration is haphazard even when there is motivation for it.
