Handbook of Behavioural Sciences 3rd Edition by Mowadat H. Rana

Book Details:

Handbook of Behavioural Sciences is a concise medical and health-science textbook written by Mowadat H. Rana, Roop Z. Rana, and Mansoor Mustafa. The book is specifically designed to provide medical and dental students with a practical understanding of behavioural sciences and their relevance to healthcare. The cover shown is the 3rd Edition, and academic institutions in Pakistan continue to list the 3rd Edition as a recommended textbook for medical students. 

The book brings together fundamental concepts from several important areas of behavioural and social sciences. Its coverage includes psychology, sociology, ethics, statistics, epidemiology and health promotion, health-service delivery, health economics, and health and social care. Rather than treating these subjects as completely separate areas, the book explains their relevance to contemporary society and medical practice, helping students understand how behavioural and social factors influence health and healthcare.

The text is organized to make important concepts accessible to busy medical students, with revision-oriented material and clinical scenarios that demonstrate how behavioural-science principles can be applied in everyday medical care. This makes it useful for understanding the human, social, ethical, and psychological dimensions of healthcare alongside the scientific aspects of medicine.
