R. A. Hope Boeken

Here is the second edition of a clear and succinct volume that offers practical solutions to problems likely to be encountered by medical students, interns, nurses, and many other health professionals. Two new sections, one on clinical signs and symptoms, and one on geriatric medicine have been added, while existing material has been extensively rewritten. When used in conjunction with its companion title Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialities, the full range of clinical medicine is covered.

Integrating techniques of management with those of psychology, mixing feeling with action and work with play, this book is both an invitation to enjoy life to its fullest and a guide for achieving such enjoyment. Butler and Hope present practical ways of improving relationships, mood, health, and work, while at the same time showing ways to build self-confidence, overcome anxiety and depression, and more. 9 illustrations.
