The #1 guide to behavioral issues in medicine Thorough, practical discussion of the full scope of the physician-patient relationship The goal of Behavioral Medicine is to help practitioners and students understand the interplay between psychological, physical, social and cultural issues of patients. Within its pages you will find real-world coverage of behavioral and interactional issues that occur between provider and patient in everyday clinical practice. You will learn how to deliver bad news, how to conduct an effective patient interview, how to care for patients at the end of life, how to clinically manage common mental and behavioral issues in medical patients, the principles of medical professionalism, motivating behavior change, and much more. As the leading text on the subject, this trusted classic delivers the most definitive, practical overview of the behavioral, clinical, and social contexts of the physician-patient relationship. The book is case based to reinforce learning through real-world examples, focusing on issues that commonly arise in everyday medical practice and training. One of the significant elements of Behavioral Medicine is the recognition that the wellbeing of physicians and other health professionals is critically important to caring for patients. Enhanced by new and updated content throughout, Behavioral Medicine provides insight and information not available anywhere else for those who seek to provide comprehensive high-quality care for patients. And it does so in a way that acknowledges patients as people who have problems that often go far beyond the reach of traditional medical care.

This is riddled with gender and social biases that undermines the information it is meant to provide. This is particularly evident in topics such as domestic abuse where the authors directs the discussion entirely towards women, despite the fact that rates of domestic abuse are comparable between men and women. Bates is somewhat better, but still not with the times.
I bought this book to adopt as a text for internal medicine residents I'm teaching and precepting as part of an integrated behavioral medicine curriculum. It is well written and very relevant for the medical learner. The only reason I gave it a 4 star rating was because of the packaging/delivery. The book arrived tattered on the edges with many pages folded over.
Much better than previous versions!! A good overview filled with the latest research findings for clinical relevance.
Seems okay, but am disappointing because it doesn't cover the psychotic disorders, like schizophrenia.
The writing is so small that it feels like a long read. But it has a lot of great information.
Good text.
This is an excellent prep for obtaining a physician/PA mentality.
