Psychological Aspects of TMJ Syndrome
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Behavioral medicine has evolved from a growing recognition that many health problems are a direct result of life-styles and habits destructive to health. Through the use of current psychological techniques (including behavior modification and biofeedback), it has been found that health practices can be positively influenced. Behavioral medicine has also rejected previous dualistic theories that considered the mind and body to be separate entities. The involvement of psychologists in dental research and care has, in part, been inspired by the developing field of behavioral medicine, and may potentially add new perspectives to both professions.
