This text aims to humanize medical education, with the emphasis on primary care. It is divided into five major sections: "Developmental Issues", covering life span events; "Love and Work", examining human sexuality and the world of work; "Assessment and Patients"; "Behavioural Medicine", devoted to alcoholism, cardiovascular diseases and AIDS; and "Behavioural Science Foundations", covering topics such as sleep, brain behaviours, sociology and medical economics. Every chapter concludes with a case study and National Board style questions are also included so that this book can be used to review and prepare for the NBME examinations.
