Substantial research advances and professional articulation have brought the field of health psychology to a certain level of maturity. From a research standpoint, we are ready to meet the challenge of the biopsychosocial model. Professionally, the field must continue to demonstrate treatment effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, integrate basic science with applications, consider how best to market health psychology research, develop criteria for intervention, and agree on training standards for researchers and professionals in the field. Current trends toward complex, multidisciplinary programs of research, and lengthy training programs may, however, conspire to drive away talented young investigators. The field can anticipate and potentially solve some of these problems by drawing on the cooperative scientific vision that has characterized our field to date.
大量的研究进展和专业阐述已使健康心理学领域达到了一定程度的成熟。从研究角度来看,我们已准备好迎接生物心理社会模型的挑战。在专业方面,该领域必须继续证明其治疗效果和成本效益,将基础科学与应用相结合,考虑如何以最佳方式推广健康心理学研究,制定干预标准,并就该领域研究人员和专业人员的培训标准达成一致。然而,当前复杂的多学科研究项目趋势以及冗长的培训项目可能会共同导致有才华的年轻研究人员望而却步。通过借鉴迄今为止一直是我们领域特色的合作科学愿景,该领域可以预见并有可能解决其中一些问题。
