4.0 out of 5 stars
behavior is medicine,
By portledgesteven "portledgesteven" (Carbondale, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Behavioral Medicine in Primary Care (Paperback)
I teach med students and residents and find that this book is one of the best resources to describe the overlay between behavior and physiology. So many students say "well, that psychology stuff is just intuitive......I know what I'd feel" without recognizing that what they feel isn't the point - what their patients feel is! This book builds the necessary bridge between intuition and research.
My students express surprise that there IS a science behind behavior and there ARE ways to break bad news to patients and there IS a link between psychology and physiology (perhaps best illustrated by the great flow diagram on stress). This book summarizes material well and uses good case examples. If I were going to write a book on behavioral science in medicine, this is the book I'd write. |
