The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine

Abstract

The contributors to this latest and most advanced textbook of Psychosomatic Med-icine are widely recognized experts who comprehensively cover all of the major psychiatric symptoms and disorders in the medically ill. For each major psychiatric disorder and each major medical disorder, they review epidem-iology and risk factors; the effects of the psychiatric dis-order on medical disorders and, conversely, the effects of medical diseases on the psyche; clinical features; diagno-sis and assessment; differential diagnosis; management; and treatment. This textbook is very up-to-date, scholarly, and encyclopedic but also reflects an understanding that one must approach each patient as a unique, suffering individual.
