Description

Extensively updated in this second edition, The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine: Psychiatric Care of the Medically III again brings together a multinational group of distinguished contributors to address every aspect of psychiatric care in the medically ill. This book captures the diversity of the field, whose practitioners scholars, physicians, and clinicians of varied backgrounds represent a multiplicity of perspectives. A quarter of this comprehensive text s chapters are entirely new, and all have been extensively revised. Early chapters cover general principles in evaluation and management, legal and ethical issues, and psychological reactions to illness. The middle sections are devoted to a review of psychiatric syndromes in the medically ill, followed by review of psychiatric issues in each of 20 medical specialties. For each major psychiatric disorder and major medical disorder, chapters discuss epidemiology and risk factors; the effects of the psychiatric disorder on medical disorders and, conversely, the effects of medical diseases on the psyche; clinical features; diagnosis and assessment; differential diagnosis; management; and treatment. Chapters in the final section summarize psychiatric treatment in the medically ill, including psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, electroconvulsive therapy, and palliative care. The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine brings together the body of knowledge and skills that defines the subspecialty of psychosomatic medicine. It will be a frequently consulted source of guidance for all clinicians and health care providers who engage in psychiatric or mental health consultation, those who care for the psychological needs of patients facing medical and surgical concerns, and those who treat psychiatric patients contending with concurrent general medical and surgical problems.
