Through his experience of working in medicine, Peter Salmon makes us aware of the impact of an individual's beliefs, emotions and behaviours (both those of the patient and the professional working with them) on the process of diagnosis and treatment and the difficulties that arise during this process. His book is aimed at clinicians from a variety of specialties wanting to find out where people's emotions and behaviours come from, how psychology can help and how to transfer it into medicine. It is reading for those who want to improve patient care by understanding psychological rules, ideas and concepts. It is a guide for all those (doctors, nurses, clinical psychologists) who understand the importance of psychological factors in their work. Gandalf.com.co.uk
