Y1 - 2014 N1 - T2 - Behavioral Medicine: A Guide for Clinical Practice, 4e AB - The term “Integrative Medicine” defines an approach to healing that utilizes conventional practices taught in traditional medical schools as well as practices taught outside of this conventional model. The term Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) may be used to define the latter, whereas Integrative Medicine “refers to a practice that combines both conventional and CAM treatments for which there is evidence of safety and effectiveness.” It is a patient-centered approach to care that not only seeks to eradicate disease or illness but also promotes optimal health and wellness.
