relevant and challenging topics of psychosomatic medicine. The book
delivers the information in an easy to use format and functions as an
excellent guide for those who are charting the waters of
consultation-liaison psychiatry....While its ideal audience is made up
of those working on the forefront of psychosomatic medicine, this book

     Product Description
 Psychosomatic medicine or consultation-liaison psychiatry is the
branch of psychiatry that focuses on the mental health issues which
accompany, or develop as a result of, other medical disorders. This
subdiscipline forms an important part of training in psychiatry. This
book provides an ideal first exposure to the inseparable nature of
physical and psychological health and illness, and a comprehensive
introduction to the broad range of disorders seen on the psychiatric
consult service. Organized into a series of bitesized chapters, each
focusing on a typical consult question, this handbook provides a
practical and portable reference which should set both strategy and
tactics for the next generation of consulting psychiatrists. Essential
reading for medical students, psychiatry residents and psychosomatic
fellows, this manual will provide immediate, in-the-field guidance on
the evaluation and management of common consultation requests.
