Pavlov
http://www.radcliffe-oxford.com/books/bookdetail.asp?ISBN=1+85775+692+4
Cinemeducation: A comprehensive guide to the use of film in medical education
provides the medical and graduate educator with an innovative and effective
cinema based curriculum useful for teaching a broad array of topics.
The book contains thirty chapters that address important areas in medical
education such as chronic illness, disabilities, chemical dependency,
cultural diversity, mental disorders and the doctor patient relationship.
The book catalogues over 450 scenes from 125 popular movies on video and
includes a rationale for the importance of the subject, description of
the movie and scene, counter number for finding the scene, relevant trigger
questions for leading group discussion and related readings. An exhaustive
appendix lists a host of additional movies relevant for teaching but not
cited in the text.
‘Cinemeducation a comprehensive guide to using film in medical
education is a marvellous tool that is entirely user friendly. Alexander,
Lenahan and Pavlov have captured an amazing array of significant small
scenes from a large variety of films, cameos illustrating crucial moments
and interactions. They have not only organized these scenes into topics
that focus on individual and family life cycles, specific clinical entities,
the doctor/patient relationship and a variety of special populations,
but they provide specific discussion questions that can be used to help
learners process the experience. The range of films that are included
is comprehensive and with exact counter numbers provided simplify the
task of the medical educator to plan and present meaningful sessions.
I know how hard it sometimes is to capture learners’ attention and
break through the reluctance to deal with uncomfortable situations. Using
the material that can be found in this volume we will all have a much
easier and successful time.’ Marian R. Stuart, in the foreword

Handbook of Primary Care Psychology
by Leonard J. Haas (ABSAME Member)
Companion Website: www.primarycarehealthpsych.com
This handbook is designed to provide authoritative information to the
psychologist working in primary-care settings and to those seeking to
learn about clinical issues in such settings. Scholarly and at the same
time practical, this volume offers both the clinician and the researcher
a wide-ranging look at the contexts in which psychological services become
of paramount importance to the health of the patient. The handbook will
cover the prevalent psychological conditions in the primary-care setting--depression,
anxiety, somatization, eating disorders, and alcoholism; illnesses in
which psychological disorders play a major role, such as heart disease,
diabetes, cancer, pain management, headache, asthma, low back pain, sleep
disorders, among others; and issues of concern to psychologists treating
children (ADHD, disciplinary problems, etc.), treating women (abuse, infertility,
menopause, sexual dysfunction), treating men (workaholism, alcoholism,
sexual dysfunction), and treating the older patient (death and dying,
cognitive impairment, late life depression). Other important topics include
psychological side effects of common medications, resistance to treatment,
spiritual concerns in the treatment of patients, cultural differences
in healing, suicide, AIDS, prevention of disease, and many others. Leonard
Haas is a noted authority in the area of primary-care psychology and has
recruited expert contributors for the 41 chapters and two appendices that
make up this definitive handbook for a growing and important subspecialty
in clinical psychology. The work may also be used in graduate courses
in health psychology.

Primary Care Psychology
by Robert G. Frank (Editor), Susan H. McDaniel (Editor), James H. Bray
(Editor), Margaret Heldring (Editor)
This text examines the essential role that psychology plays in the delivery
of primary care. Exciting oppotunities in the delivery of behavioral health
services have emerged in this area. Because psychological and behavioral
interventions are natural complements to primary care, pscyhology is poised
to become a full partner in the health professions.
This text examines the role of psychological and behavioral interventions
in primary care medicine. Several introductory chapters define primary
care psychology and examine unique aspects of clinical care for psychologists
working in primary care. Other contributions from researchers, scholars,
and practitioners address such topics as the concept of collaborative
family health care, collaboration between psychologists and pediatricians
in primary care settings, and reimbursement issues likely to affect primary
care in the future.
Hardcover: 343 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.17 x 10.06 x 7.30

Integrated Primary Care: The Future of Medical and Mental Health
Collaboration (Norton Professional Books)
by Alexander Blount
Presents models for integrating medical and mental health services to
best address patients' needs. Integrated primary care, now instituted
in many areas of the country, is both the service that integrates medical
and mental health primary care and the practice of defining the problem
brought by a patient without using "medical" or "mental"
as inevitable distinctions. This volume makes the case for this approach,
shows how to implement it, and describes some successful programs. It
will be attractive to medical managers, plan administrators, physicians,
and mental health providers.
Hardcover: 297 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.14 x 9.29 x 6.30
