Students of behavioral science, whether residents in psychiatry, graduate students in psychology or clinical social work, or third- and fourth-year medicalstudents preparing for the USMLE Step 1 and 2 examinations, need to understand patients’ behavior, how to communicate effectively, and how to recognize anddeal with psychiatric disorders. Problem-based learning involves the detailed, systematic study of real and fictitious patient cases. Although more than sixty medical schools incorporate problem-based learning in their curricula, there are no current textbooks to support and guide this aspect of courses in behavioral sciences, behavioral medicine, or psychiatry. This book presents simulated patient cases in psychiatry and behavioral science, providing a real-world context for students and graduates in these areas. It introduces the topics described below through detailed case vignettes using a model of problem-basedlearning called progressive disclosure. Problem-based format with compelling patient scenarios addressing important topics in behavioral science and psychiatry Mechanism-based diagrams to illustrate the complex connections between basic and clinical science Review questions at the end of each section INDICE: From the contents Part I.
