...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.

Review of Clinical Medicine - Parveen Kumar, Michael Clark

...best selling general reference on clinical medicine amongst medical students. In my opinion it should be the first book on the bookshelf of a medical student and is likely to be kept by the student for many years. The book was written in a response to a need for understandable and attainable teaching on medicine and certainly achieves its objective. I bought this book in my first year of medical school, and at first found it difficult to read. Even ...

Review of Clinical Medicine - Parveen Kumar, Michael Clark

Having bought and used the fourth edition since starting medical school nearly 6 years ago, one naturally hopes that the new edition does not need to be added to an already comprehensive and varied medical bookshelf.

The most outstanding and dramatic change to this edition has to be the ability to access the FULL textbook (along with every single image, table etc.) online! Each ...
...access to the 'kumarandclark' website. Furthermore, the very first page contains a list of websites that have up-to-date information regarding the subject matter in their respective chapters. Only at closer inspection, can one really see the subtle differences between the fourth and fifth editions (for instance, the Acute Coronary Syndrome now replaces Unstable Angina in this new edition, an important distinction, especially with finals fast approaching!). ...

Review of Clinical Medicine - Parveen Kumar, Michael Clark

...Professor Parveen Kumar (Professor of Clinical Medicine Education) and Dr Michael Clark (Honorary Senior Lecturer). It also features contributions from many other highly esteemed professionals in specific areas. I have the fifth edition, which I fear will not be the most up-to-date for much longer (or perhaps is already succeeded by another edition) but it does me just fine for now. This edition features new sections on ethics, communication, and ...
