PRODUCT INFORMATION
Summary
Introduces medical students to the science of human behavior. This text teaches the major concepts of this complex subject and prepares students for board exams. It includes coverage of psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and pediatric psychiatry.
Description
Behavioral Science in Medicine, by Dr. Barbara Fadem, author of the popular review books High-Yield Behavioral Science and BRS Behavioral Science, is a comprehensive yet manageable text that introduces medical students to the science of human behavior. Organized to mirror the behavioral science/psychiatry course taught in the first two years, this text effectively teaches the major concepts of this complex subject and prepares students for board exams. The 2nd edition is appropriate for courses in Behavioral Science alone but also for courses that merge Behavioral Science and Neuroscience, which is a growing trend as the NBME plans to combine these subjects on the USMLE. The increase depth of coverage of psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and pediatric psychiatry, also makes the 2nd edition appropriate for use in Clinical Psychiatry courses in the 3rd- and 4th-year.
Critic Reviews
“"This book is impressive in its scope, addressing the biological and psychological bases of behavior throughout the life cycle, succinctly reviewing psychopathology and social behavior. What makes the book great is at the end, where there are helpful discussions of the doctor-patient relationship, complicated ethical and legal matters, the history of healthcare delivery systems, as well as the explanations, examples, and easy to understand charts in the appendix on medical epidemiology and biostatistics." ”
