This new edition of one of the most popular and highly regarded texts on behavioral
and social science in medicine has been fully revised and updated. It is structured
to reflect the latest Institute of Medicine recommendations on the teaching of
behavioral and social sciences in medicine. Its 25 chapters are divided into five
core domains: mind-body interactions in health and disease, patient behavior, the
physician’s role and behavior, physician-patient interactions, social and cultural
issues in health care along with health policy and economics.
Under the careful guidance and editing of Danny Wedding, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry
in St. Louis, MO, and Margaret L. Stuber, MD, the Jane and Marc Nathanson
Professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA, over 40 leading
educators from major medical faculties have contributed to produce the most
comprehensible and well-designed text in its field.
Unique to Behavior and Medicine is the use of hundreds of works of art, poetry, and
aphorisms to provoke thought and interest and to illuminate the most important
points. Additional features of note are:

• Practical, clinical emphasis, based around the core topics recommended by the
Institute of Medicine
• Comprehensive, trustworthy, and up-to-date
• Competitive price compared to other much less comprehensive, question-andanswer-
type, course review works
• Chapters written and carefully edited by leading educators at major medical facilities
• Numerous case examples, tables, charts, and boxes for quick access to information
• Learning and exam aids, such as sample USMLE review questions
• New chapters on medical ethics and the United States health care system
A unique textbook, comprehensive and up-to-date, with a practical, clinical emphasis
and a structure that is ideally suited for teaching behavioral sciences in the
medical school classroom.
