This new edition of one of the most popular and highly regarded texts on behavioral science and psychology has been fully updated and restructured to reflect the latest Institute of Medicine recommendations on the teaching of behavioral sciences in medicine. Its 26 chapters are divided into six 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, and health policy and economics. 
Danny Wedding, PhD, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Missouri-Columbia, is joined as editor by Margaret L. Stuber, MD, Professor of Psychiatry at UCLA for this edition. Under their careful guidance and editing, around 40 leading educators from major medical faculties have contributed to produce the most comprehensible and didactically well-designed text in its field. 
Unique to Behavior and Medicine, for instance, is the use of hundreds of works of art, poetry, and aphorisms to provoke thought and interest and to illuminate the most important points. It’s main features 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-and-answer-type, course review works - Written and carefully edited by leading educators at major medical faculties - 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: physician well-being; working with other professionals, organizations, and communities; facilitating health behavior change; communicating with patients; management of difficult patients; culturally competent healthcare; impact of social inequalities; and economics and health

Motivation research has a huge amount to offer in diverse areas of work and life. As with all scientific endeavors, however, it must face the issue of generalizability knowing what works and under what conditions. This book confronts that issue by showcasing both applied snapshots and more basic theory-based enquiries that provide a global picture of contemporary motivation research and its applications. A stellar group of international scholars discuss different theoretical perspectives (e.g., achievement goals, self-determination, cognitive load, control value of achievement emotions, interest, self-efficacy) in diverse contexts (e.g., cooperative learning, help-seeking, teacher education, technology facilitation) to highlight the dynamic interplay between more basic research and real-life practice in classrooms and the workplace. As well as interesting researchers and practitioners in fields related to education and motivation in organizations in general, the book is also suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses.

Using CBT and other techniques to improve outcome and compliance with drug treatments for schizophrenia and other psychoses - essential reading for psychiatrists and other mental health practitioners An exclusive focus on biological models of schizophrenia and on antipsychotic drugs for treatment of schizophrenia or other psychoses is increasingly being recognized as a major barrier to effective treatment. Written by an expert team of psychiatrists and psychologists with wide experience of combining drug and psychological treatments, this book provides a practically oriented and clear overview of how to use CBT in mental health services that have traditionally emphasized medication management. At the same time as respecting the important role of drug treatment, it shows clinicians how to achieve better outcomes with schizophrenic and psychotic patients using CBT techniques. The book describes key adaptations of standard CBT approaches to optimize efficacy in schizophrenia, the core techniques that have been found to be most effective, how to integrate the CBT approach into more traditional medication management - and also how this approach can be used with individuals who do not accept a diagnosis of mental illness or reject medication. Includes practical pull-out cards: treatment planning checklist, guided exploratory questions, logical reasoning strategy, hearing voices strategy.

This monograph provides an overview of recent developments in and new applications for multinomial processing tree (MPT) modeling in cognitive psychology and related fields. Multinomial models are a class of stochastic models tailored to specific research paradigms that allow the measurement of latent cognitive processes underlying observed responses. An introductory review and literature survey in this monograph outlines the family of MPT models, the typical steps in MPT model analyses, the use of MPT models in cognitive psychology, statistical considerations, and computer programs for MPT modeling. Original research articles then present novel MPT modeling approaches in different fields, including episodic memory, binary choice models and 'guessing', and word identification in early reading. Discussions of matters such as cognitive psychometrics and ongoing developments of MPT modeling throughout the contributions clearly demonstrate how active this field of research is and the wide range of applications of multinomial modeling. The Zeitschrift fur Psychologie, founded in 1890, is the oldest psychology periodical in Europe and the second oldest in the world. It will now, with a change in language to English, be published as a series of monographs on basic and applied topics in psychology, each featuring a major overview article, peer-reviewed original research papers, as well as brief 'Research Spotlight' and 'Horizons' reports about ongoing or forthcoming projects. Each carefully compiled monograph is edited by leading experts and features articles by scientists at the forefront of current research.
