Master medical terms on your terms! A combination text/workbook,
Exploring Medical Language, 11th Edition provides exercises that
make it easy to build an understanding of medical terminology.
Organized by body system, medical terms are divided into two
categories: 1) Words built from word parts, and 2) Words NOT built
from word parts. Fun and engaging exercises help you first learn
word parts and then learn how to combine the parts into full
medical terms that make sense. For more practice, you can visit an
Evolve website with games, activities, flashcards, and practice
exams. From well-known educators Danielle LaFleur Brooks, Myrna
LaFleur Brooks, and Dale Levinsky, this learning package helps you
gain fluency in medical language and communicate clearly in the
health care setting. Comprehensive coverage of medical terminology
creates a distinction between terms built from word parts, which
are usually based on Greek or Latin, and those terms NOT built from
word parts, which are based on eponyms, acronyms, or terms from
modern language. Systematic presentation provides a foundation of
word parts (prefix, suffix, word root, and combining vowel), then
builds words by combining the parts. Case studies ask you to
interpret medical terms used in medical records and to translate
everyday language into medical language. Full-color illustrations
encourage you to apply the meaning of word parts by labeling
anatomical figures. Abbreviations tables introduce abbreviated
medical terms related to chapter content, and are supplemented with
exercises, flashcards, and practice quizzes. Reviews of word parts
and terms provide the practice you absolutely need to define,
pronounce, and spell medical terminology. More than 400 flashcards
allow you to review word parts whenever and wherever you want.

Understanding Mental Disorders aims to help current and future
psychiatrists, and those who work with them, to think critically
about the ethical, conceptual, and methodological questions that
are raised by the theory and practice of psychiatry. It considers
questions that concern the mind's relationship to the brain, the
origins of our norms for thinking and behavior, and the place of
psychiatry in medicine, and in society more generally. With a focus
on the current debates around psychiatry's diagnostic categories,
the authors ask where these categories come from, if psychiatry
should be looking to find new categories that are based more
immediately on observations of the brain, and whether psychiatrists
need to employ any diagnostic categories at all. The book is a
unique guide for readers who want to think carefully about the
mind, mental disorders, and the practice of psychiatric medicine.
