The behavioral sciences and health care.

Summary: "A clearly structured, compact text on the behavioral sciences for medical and other health professions, including practical features such as chapter review questions and an annotated practice exam. This edition of this easy-to-use text presents succinct information about the wide variety of social and psychological sciences that interact with the biological sciences in contributing to health and illness. Based around but expanding on the Integrated Sciences Model, and focusing on the Institute of Medicine's key themes for medical training, this latest edition includes new chapters on pain, obsessive compulsive and related disorders, and theories of social relations and interprofessional collaboration as well as a new appendix on psychological testing as well as integrating the new classification of the DSM-5. Each chapter begins with guidance questions and ends with current recommended readings and review questions. A complete 335 question-and-answer multiple choice-type review section not only allows readers to assess how well they have learned the material, but also highlights important points and adds additional specific information to supplement the text."--
