This textbook from Jaypee Brothers Medical Publishers is an English medium (अंग्रेजी माध्यम) book on Psychology, written by Thangamani Ramalingam A and Dibyendunarayan Bid, prepared for physiotherapy (फिजियोथेरेपी) students studying psychology as part of the BPT curriculum, and also useful for occupational therapy, nursing, rehabilitation science and other allied health science courses. This Third Edition, carrying forewords by Sudipta Roy, Senthil Kumar SN and MT Rangwala, teaches psychology as a working clinical skill rather than as abstract theory — every principle is followed by its use in the treatment room, where patient motivation, fear of movement, low mood and poor adherence decide whether a physiotherapy programme succeeds. The book covers the scope and methods of psychology, the biological basis of behaviour, sensation and perception, attention, learning and memory, motivation and emotion, intelligence and personality, developmental psychology across the lifespan, social psychology and group behaviour, stress and coping, psychological aspects of disability and chronic pain (दीर्घकालिक दर्द), psychology of rehabilitation, behaviour modification and therapy, counselling and communication skills, the patient–therapist relationship, health psychology, psychological assessment, and common psychiatric conditions a physiotherapist encounters in practice. Its distinguishing feature is this rehabilitation-centred approach — psychological concepts explained with physiotherapy examples and supported by well-labelled diagrams, flowcharts, tables and chapter-end questions for revision. All content, terminology and explanations in this book are presented in the English language only.
