DESCRIPTION
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.
