Research help- Medical/Psychological advancement
Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2014 7:13 pm
I'm writing a piece that has two major settings. One is a postmodern medical school, the other is an Iron Curtain era (1946) medical research facility.
Medical school curriculum is easy to research, of course, since there are websites that give an overview of each course. I'm trying to write about a fictional study that occurred during the 50s, and I want to highlight the differences between medical science then and now. How different is medical practice nowadays? How much of the methods and discoveries found post-war are considered outdated or obselete? I'd like a good read on these, so if you know any good sources or articles, please give me them!
I'd also like to know how far we've come in terms of psychological research and how much we understand the human mind, so those would also be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
