5 STAR DOODY’S REVIEW!
“This is an extraordinarily thorough, helpful book. It manages to summarize numerous topics, many of which are not a part of a habitual medical curriculum, in concise, relevant chapters. Physicians who do not know the dynamics behind the doctor-patient relationship ordinarily end up being poor doctors, and this book reviews the many behavioral issues that patients have that can affect this relationship. This is a very welcome addition to the medical education literature, and should be required reading for all involved clinicians.”–Doody’s Review Service

I picked up this book for my clinical psychology course at Palmer College of Chiropractic West. It has been a excellent resource for learning about different ways to deal with all kinds of people that may be appearance into the clinic. The book is written in a style that makes it fascinating and simple to read. I urge this book to anyone in the healthcare field looking for in rank as regards the interview with the patient, working with specific populations (such as geriatrics or pediatrics), health-correlated behavior (such as Obesity), and mental/behavioral disorders.

This book is a wonderful overview of both common and trying issues in the clinic setting, and very relevant to outpatient do. It is simple reading, but full of matter-of-fact tips and up-to-date references. I would urge it to every primary care resident as an aid in their training.

I teach med students and residents and find that this book is one of the best resources to describe the overlay between behavior and physiology. So many students say “well, that psychology stuff is just intuitive……I know what I’d feel” without recognizing that what they feel isn’t the top – what their patients feel is! This book builds the necessary bridge between intuition and research.
My students express surprise that there IS a science behind behavior and there ARE ways to break terrible news to patients and there IS a link between psychology and physiology (perhaps best illustrated by the fantastic flow diagram on stress).
This book summarizes material well and uses excellent case examples. If I were going to write a book on behavioral science in medicine, this is the book I’d write.
