This review is from: Behavioral Medicine Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster Series) (Paperback)

I had the luck to take Dr. Seitz's class in behavior medicine at the University of Washington School of Medicine. His text was one of our's with Wedding also for those familiar. Anyways, his book was absolutely excellent. If was great in that it was brief and to the meat of the subject. It contained many lists and acronyms which I just can't seem to avoid in behavior science. This is a great foundation book to review 1st year medical school Behavioral Science. I thought it was very readable and Dr. Seitz has even thrown in a joke here and there to keep you awake. A great book for review, and a must have for all 1st years. I wish the other Made ridiculously simples were this good. Thanks Dr. Seitz
Montana WWAMI is the best

3.0 out of 5 stars Maybe too ridiculously simple, September 17, 2009

This review is from: Behavioral Medicine Made Ridiculously Simple (Medmaster Series) (Paperback)

This book is good as a quick read and to cover the very basics of behavioral medicine. The chapters are short and to the point, and cover a range of topics. However, the information provided is at a very basic level, and may be more appropriate for pre-med than med school. Additionally, while the humor and silly examples used in the book may make it a more enjoyable read for those who are required to read it, or who do not have an interest in behavioral medicine, the style may serve to make light of an important and complex field that is, at times, undervalued.
