I've seen a number of different terms which I think are synonymous but I'm sure there are some differences and subtleties between them. If someone could please tell me what the differences are between these or if they are basically interchangable: Behavioral Medicine Health Psychology Medical Psychology Psychobiology Psychoneuroimmunology Psychosomatic Medicine etc. Thanks, Nate -- Remove the X from my e-mail address when sending messages.
