Psychology and Sociology Applied to Medicine (New Updated Edition)
By Beth Alder, Charles Abraham, Edwin van Teijlingen & Mike Porter
Foreword by Keith Millar

Psychology and Sociology Applied to Medicine by Beth Alder, Charles Abraham, Edwin van Teijlingen, and Mike Porter is part of the acclaimed Illustrated Colour Text series, offering an integrated treatment of sociology and psychology for medical students presented in a colourful, graphic format that's more engaging than typical textbooks on these subjects.
