Psychology for Medicine
- Synopsis
-
A recent UK report emphasized the need for greater integration of psychological/social sciences into the traditional biomedical curriculum--a trend in the US also. After explaining barriers to an biopsychosocial approach, Ayers and de Visser (psychology, Brighton & Sussex Medical School) discuss psychological theories and research relevant to many aspects of clinical practice; brain development and the effects of social context on behavior; psychology relevant to body systems; and communication skills and psychological interventions in clinical practice, e. g. , in regard to disease risk factors. Chapters include case studies, clinical notes, activities, further reading, exam preparation questions, and color illustrations. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc. , Portland, OR (booknews. com)
