Medical words for everyone! Advantages: Really easy to read, layout is excellent. Disadvantages: Like it says in the title - concise. Sometimes not enough detail. When i joined medical school i was given this dictionary for free by the Medical Defense Union, and i've found it more useful that many of my books which cost £40! The recommended retail price is £11.99, and that would be money well spent! I have the third edition, which claims to have nearly 11,000 entries of which over 500 are new for this edition. The entries are really easy to locate, and the entry name is written in red, distinguishing it from ... ...that it's really hard to look at a page and find the word you want, but with this one, the colour really stands out. So far in my medical teaching (i'm a second year medical student) I've found that nearly every word i've wanted to look up has been in here. The description in each entry is easy to read and a good summary of the term. For more detailed information it is necessary to use other books, but this gives an excellent overview.

Clinically Oriented Anatomy Advantages: In depth anatomy Disadvantages: Diagrams can be confusing I used this book for both my anatomy special study modules on head and neck and upper and lower limbs at University and it proved to be very helpful. It has pretty much everything you need to know for anatomy. The description can be a little long winded but provides good detail. The book is generally well organised and easy to follow. However, the diagrams can be a little confusing at times but the good description often compensates for it. This ... ...may affect the parts of the body quite well to help students gain a more holistic understanding of the topic. I particularly like the last chapter of the book which is a summary of cranial nerves. It was really comprehensive and including descriptions of clinical conditions associated with the cranial nerves. I would recommend this to all medical students, it is a good supplement to any basic anatomy textbook as it goes into more depth and detail. ... kimchuan87 09.12.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Clinically Oriented Anatomy - Keith Moore, Arthur Dalley	Degree of Information How interesting was the...

clinical psychology history here Advantages: read Disadvantages: i think so nothing ...one. well my research about clinical psychology. Clinical psychology includes the scientific study and application of psychology for the purpose of understanding, preventing, and relieving psychologically-based distress or dysfunction and to promote subjective well-being and personal development.[1][2] Central to its practice are psychological assessment and psychotherapy, although clinical psychologists also engage in research, teaching, consultation, ... ...half of the 20th century, clinical psychology was focused on psychological assessment, with little attention given to treatment. This changed after the 1940s when World War II resulted in the need for a large increase in the number of trained clinicians. Since that time, two main educational models have developed-the Ph.D. (focusing on research) and the Psy.D. (focusing on practice). Clinical psychologists are now considered experts in providing ... shq29 08.09.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Clinical Medicine - Parveen Kumar, Michael Clark	Degree of Information How interesting was the...

An interesting book of case studies Advantages: Interesting, thought-provoking case studies Disadvantages: Author doesn't really make any conclusions clear; more for the specialist Oliver Sacks is a physician and neurologist by profession, but has an extremely keen ear for music. He is supremely, if not almost uniquely, qualified to tell us in the opening pages of this book that the power of music occupies more areas of our brain than language does. This is by way of a prelude to a book consisting largely of case histories of people struggling to adapt to different neurological conditions. Among the cases he discusses is that ... ...surgeon, who was struck by lightning while making a telephone call, developed a passion for music within a few weeks, started teaching himself the piano, and became a compulsive composer; Silvia N., who suffered from epilepsy, who was normally sent into convulsions by a CD of Neapolitan songs; and Rachael Y., a composer and performer, who suffered a head injury in a car crash, and has retained her sense of melody but lost her sense of harmony, so ...

Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes Advantages: Easy to use, excellent for revision Disadvantages: Quite basic and sometimes doesn't give actual muscle attachments ...always buying new books with the latest information in that was all highly complicated and made very little sense to me. And so I found myself scouring through a number of online websites and bookstores attempting to find books to aid with my studies but not confuse me to boredom! This is what I found! The Concise Book of Muscles by Chris Jarmey. It gives you a little bit more than a basic guide to the anatomy of the body but is easy to read and ... ...anatomical movement and explanations about the "core stability" of the body i.e. the vertebral column and thoracic/pelvic region. It then goes on to give an explanation regarding muscle attachment and isometric/isotonic contractions which is very beneficial when studying anything medical. The book then moves on in sections working from the head downwards with pictures of the muscles and a statement of: origin, insertion, action and nerve supply. ... ebarnden1 22.07.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of The Concise Book of Muscles - Chris Jarmey	Degree of Information How interesting was the...
