Abstract

Experts in liaison psychiatry guide the reader through the difficulties of interviewing, assessing, and formulating the psychological problems found in patients in general medical or surgical units. The text provides practical guidelines, with the inclusion of chapters concerning the basic clinical approach to psychiatric assessment and treatment in the general hospital setting. The topics of somatisation and psychological reactions to physical illness are covered in special detail, as are research and treatment. Written primarily for trainee and general psychiatrists, the book will also be of use to medical students and general practitioners.
