In keeping with the growing emphasis on psychiatry in the medical
school curriculum, problem-based learning (PBL) offers students a
unique patient-centred, multidisciplinary approach to study and the
synthesis of knowledge. The new 2nd edition of Problem-Based
Behavioral Science and Psychiatry integrates DSM-5 updates and
diagnostic criteria, and is fully consistent with PBL models and
methods. Building on the strengths of the popular and widely
downloaded 1st edition, the 2nd edition is a clinically robust
resource for both the medical and the behavioral science student.
Over 40 contributors, many themselves graduates of PBL medical
schools, apply problem-based learning methods to specific
psychiatric disorders, general clinical issues, and bedrock
physician skills such as the intake interview and treatment
planning. The book's fictional case vignettes illustrated typical
patient scenarios, providing real-world context for content areas,
and accompanying case diagrams show the relationships between
patient behaviour and underlying neurobiological structures. Each
student-friendly section ends with helpful review questions. A
sampling of the content areas covered: * Childhood development and
brain development. * Major psychiatric illnesses, including
personality, mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. * Stress,
substance abuse, and violence. * Eating, sleep, and sexual
disorders. * Coping skills and treatment compliance. * End-of-life
care. * PLUS chapters on cultural sensitivity, ethical concerns,
and the physician/patient relationship. This book is ideal for
first and second year medical students wanting to learn about
psychiatry in the exciting context of realistic cases. It also
makes an excellent prep/review text for third- and fourth-year
medical students preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and 2 exams, as
well as being suited to graduate students in psychology or clinical
social work. Problem-Based Behavioral Science and Psychiatry
encourages lifelong learning and helps build the foundation for a
lifelong career.
