Abstract:	This handbook is a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of the applications of cognitive-behavioral approaches to common issues and problems confronted by practitioners in primary care medical settings. The book elucidates the roles and functions of the cognitive behavioral clinician in primary care with a special emphasis on addressing problems and issues that practitioners face daily with patients, such as ethical dilemmas, non-adherence in primary care, treatment of anxiety and depression, problematic lifestyle habits, and more. The authors also present methods for addressing common medical problems in primary care, such as hypertension, asthma, diabetes, obesity, chronic pain, and more.
