KORTE INHOUD
This is a second edition of a popular introduction to human behaviour in the context of health and illness. The core concepts of psychology and sociology are covered in nine sections:
- the life cycle
- development of the person
- society and health
- preventing illness and promoting health
- illness behaviour and the doctor-patient encounter
- illness and disability
- coping with illness and disability
- how do health services work?
- how do you fit into all of this?
Topics are presented as selc-contained double page spreads, with understanding of important concepts being reinforced by case studies, discussion points and summary boxes. New double page spreads have been added on stress and health, changing individual behaviour, depression, ageing, society and health, complementary therapies, death and dying, eating, asthma and COPD, media and health, and smoking.
Psychology and Sociology applied to medicine will be ideal for medical students, and also for students of other professions allied to medicine.
