Review: I am a 1st year medical student and I found this book both informative and interesting. It is very usefull when beginning human behaviour and I would recommend any medical student who is doing a degree which requires them to learn about the doctor - patient relationship to by it. chou.

Rating:
Summary: Common Sense
Review: This might be one of the worst books I have been assigned to read as a medical student. I could barely concentrate long enough to get through a single chapter. Most of the book is pure common sense with some Psychology 101 thrown in.

This is an important topic and has great meaning in physician training, but it is a very boring read. THe sentence structure and word usage went way overboard. I could have condensed this book down to half its size by using simpler terms. Plus the author continually makes short statements about a subject and then includes a line that it is "discussed further in chapter..." - how annoying!
