Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Medical Psychology refers to a growing specialty area of clinical psychology practice in which clinical psychologists, who have undergone specialized education and training at the post-doctoral level, integrate somatic and psychotherapeutic modalities into the management of mental illness including the prescription of medications in the care and management of patients. In the United States, New Mexico and Louisiana, and several branches of the U.S. uniformed services currently authorize medical psychologists to prescribe medications. In Louisiana, the term of medical psychologist refers, in statute, specifically to those psychologists authorized and licensed to prescribe medications, and mirrors precisely the terminology of the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).Behavioral Medicine (related to Behavioral Health, Clinical Health Psychology and Psychosomatic Medicine) is a related branch of clinical practice in which psychologists emphasize the biopsychosocial approach to medicine, a model which recognizes the importance of addressing the interaction between physical, psychological and social factors in both the prevention and management of disease.
