His writings included “Psychobiology and Human Disease” (1977) and the textbook ''Perturbing the Organism: The Biology of Stressful Experience'' (University of Chicago, 1992) and he co-wrote or edited 20 others.
“He brought a level of scientific inquiry to the field,” said Dr. Michael Irwin, a professor at UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Institute. “He asked, ‘How do we set up experiments to evaluate how the brain communicates with the body and how stress impacts health?’ That was his stamp.” his pioneering research into mind-body connections contributed to the rise of psychosomatic medicine as a distinct field.
