Author: Beth Alder,Edwin Van Teijlingen,Michael Porter,Michael PorterPublisher: Elsevier Health SciencesCategory: Medicine, Medical Sociology, PsychiatryAge Group: 15+Book Format: PaperbackThis textbook in the Illustrated Colour Text series offers an integrated treatment of sociology and psychology for medical students. It is presented in a much more colourful and graphic format than is usual for books on these two subjects. This integration reflects the tendency to teach these two subjects together as behavioural science�, with an increased stress on the place of medicine in society, and on illness as a product of psychological and social circumstances rather than merely a biological phenomenon. The book reflects these trends and has been successful and popular with students. This third edition contains a new introduction on the importance and key features of the biopsychosocial model and additional double-page spreads on International Health and Rural Health.
