About the Book: Behavioral Science in Medicine
Behavioral Science in Medicine 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 Second
Edition is appropriate for courses in Behavioral Science alone but also for
courses that merge Behavioral Science and Neuroscience. The increased depth of
coverage of psychiatric illness, substance abuse, and pediatric psychiatry, also
makes the Second Edition appropriate for use in Clinical Psychiatry courses in
the third and fourth year.
