Psychology in Medicine was published in 1992 by Butterworth-Heinemann, and is now out of print. Details of the contents can be found below.This was the first book I wrote, and I set aside a summer to write it, and finished it seven years later. To a large extent it is based on the course on Psychology for Medical Students that I taught to pre-clinical students at St. Mary's Hospital Medical School from 1979 to 1997.
