Does the job to a tee, was sceptical before purchase as so cheap but it is the best on the market to do this job.'   'An illustrated colour text covering off all aspects of the lifespan as well as health promotion, society and health and how health services work - to name but a few.'  'Each chapter has case studies, \"stop-think\" sections which encourage active reflection, and reinforcement of learning through small, bite-sized reinforced chunks of information.'    '. a really fundamental textbook for any first- or second-year medical student. It really helps you to appreciate the \"non-science\" side of medicine; how important it is to understand where the patient is coming from, geographically and ideologically. Also, this book deals amazingly well with current issues, such as social difficulties stemming from genetic testing. The double-page spread format interspersed with extension boxes and pictures is a really easy read and a first-rate revision tool. Indispensable book..'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The life cycle   1 The biopsychosocial model   2 Pregnancy and childbirth   3 Reproductive issues   4 Development in early infancy   5 Childhood and child health   6 Adolescence   7 Social aspects of ageing   8 Bereavement    2 Development of the person    9 Personality and health   10 Understanding learning   11 Perception   12 Emotions   13 Memory problems   14 How does sexuality develop?   15 Intelligence   16 Development of thinking     3 Society and health    17 Understanding groups   18 Concepts of health, illness and disease   19 Measuring health and illness   20 Changing patterns of health and illness   21 Social class and health   22 Gender and health   23 LGBT health   24 Ethnicity and health   25 Quality of life   26 Media and health   27 Housing, homelessness and health   28 Work and health   29 Unemployment and health   30 Labelling and stigma    4 Preventing illness and promoting health    31 Perceptions of risk and risk-taking behaviours   32 What are disease prevention and health promotion?   33 Health screening   34 The social implications of the new genetics   35 Health beliefs, motivation and behaviour   36 Changing cognitions and behaviour   37 Helping people to act on their intentions   38 The social context of behavioural change   39 Illegal drug use   40 Alcohol use   41 Smoking, tobacco control and doctors   42 Eating, body shape and health   5 Illness behaviour and the doctor-patient encounter  43 Deciding to consult   44 Seeing the doctor   45 Placebo and nocebo effects   46 Adherence   47 Clinical communication skills   48 Breaking bad news   49 Self-care   50 Patient experience   51 Psychological preparation for surgery    6 Illness and disability    52 Heart disease   53 Malnutrition and obesity   54 HIV\/AIDS   55 Cancer   56 Anxiety   57 Depression   58 Inflammatory bowel disease   59 Physical disability   60 Learning disability   61 Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)   62 Diabetes mellitus   63 Stress and health   64 Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease   65 Death and dying    7 Coping with illness and disability    66 Counselling   67 Urban nature, health and wellbeing   68 Coping and adaptation   69 Cognitive-behavioural therapy   70 Coping with illness and disability   71 Palliative care   72 Complementary therapies   73 The management of pain    8 How do health services work?    74 Organizing and funding health care   75 Assessing needs   76 Setting priorities and rationing   77 Community care   78 Health: a global perspective   79 Health: a rural perspective    9 How do you fit into all this?   80 Medical students' experience   81 Life as a trainee doctor   82 The profession of medicine   References   Index","brand":"Elsevier Health Sciences","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49404010266967,"sku":"9780702062988","price":35.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780702062988.jpg?v=1730485152","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/psychology-and-sociology-applied-to-medicine-9780702062988","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
