AB  - The  term,  “integrative  medicine”  (IM)  defines  an  approach  to  healing  that  explores  the  whole  person,  including  individual  values  and  lifestyle,  while  making  use  of  all  appropriate  and  evidence-informed  therapeutic  modalities,  health  care  professionals,  and  disciplines  to  promote  optimal  well-being.  Behavioral  medicine  is  uniquely  situated  to  implement  an  IM  framework  for  several  reasons.  First,  a  central  component  in  behavioral  medicine  is  the  biopsychosocial  model.  This  model  encompasses  an  assessment  of  the  unique  biological,  psychological,  social,  cultural,  and  environmental  influences  on  the  whole  person.  Biological  contexts  include  age,  sex,  genetic  vulnerabilities,  medications,  substances  of  abuse,  physical  injuries,  and  medical  illnesses.  Psychological  contexts  include  traumatic  experiences,  psychological  defenses,  and  traits.  Social  contexts  include  community  support,  social  skills,  major  life  transitions,  employment,  cultural  beliefs,  values,  spirituality,  and  access  to  health  care.  Second,  both  IM  and  behavioral  medicine  appreciate  that  healing  occurs  on  multiple  levels  and  that  there  is  a  bidirectional  relationship  between  the  mind  and  body.  Last,  IM  and  behavioral  medicine  share  an  emphasis  on  the  therapeutic  alliance  and  partnership  between  patients  and  those  who  contribute  to  their  care.
