- Summary:
- Behavioral Science in Medicine, Second Edition, introduces students in medical and related programs to the science of human behavior. Organized to mirror the behavioral science/psychiatry course typically taught in the first two years of medical school, this text addresses the major concepts of this complex subject and prepares students for Steps 1 & 2 of the USMLE. Increased depth of coverage of psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and pediatric psychiatry also makes this edition appropriate for use in clinical psychiatry courses in the third and fourth year. Students will appreciate the integrated clinical case studies found in each chapter and the use of tables to reinforce important information.
