Product Description
5 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This is an extraordinarily thorough, useful book. It manages to summarize numerous topics, many of which are not a part of a traditional medical curriculum, in concise, relevant chapters. Physicians who do not understand the dynamics behind the doctor-patient relationship usually 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 practicing clinicians."--Doody's Review Service Behavioral Medicine delivers practical coverage of behavioral and interactional issues that occur between provider and patient in everyday clinical practice. You will learn how to deliver bad news, how to conduct an effective patient interview, how to clinically manage behavioral issues in the dying patient, the principles of medical professionalism, behavioral issues in men's and women's health, and much more. Features: Thorough but practical discussion of the scope of the physician-patient relationship Includes extensive use of cases and clinical vignettes Complete coverage of medical disorders that influence both physician and patient behavior in clinical practice (20081118) |

good resource by T. Holder (San Jose, CA USA)  5 Stars
October 28, 2009
I picked up this book for my clinical psychology course at Palmer College of Chiropractic West. It has been a good resource for learning about different ways to deal with all kinds of people that may be coming into the clinic. The book is written in a style that makes it interesting and easy to read. I recommend this book to anyone in the healthcare field looking for information concerning the interview with the patient, working with specific populations (such as geriatrics or pediatrics), health-related behavior (such as Obesity), and mental/behavioral disorders.

behavior is medicine by portledgesteven (Carbondale, IL United States)  4 Stars
April 13, 2006
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 point - 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 bad news to patients and there IS a link between psychology and physiology (perhaps best illustrated by the great flow diagram on stress).
This book summarizes material well and uses good case examples. If I were going to write a book on behavioral science in medicine, this is the book I'd write.

An excellent aid in the primary care setting! 5 Stars
July 29, 1999
This book is a wonderful overview of both common and difficult issues in the clinic setting, and very relevant to outpatient practice. It is easy reading, but full of practical tips and up-to-date references. I would recommend it to every primary care resident as an aid in their training.
