Abstract

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is the interdisciplinary science investigating the bidirectional interactions between psychological phenomena, the nervous system, and the immune system. Particularly relevant to mental health professionals is an understanding of how stress, personality, psychopathology, and psychological interventions influence immunological functioning. The present entry provides a brief history of PNI and an overview of the immune system before discussing how each of four psychological phenomena relates to immune parameters. Overall, data strongly support an association between psychological functioning and immune functioning.
