Synopsis :

Psychosomatic medicine plays a crucial role in the medical center, and its sound, sensitive practice is critical to patient care. The Casebook of Psychosomatic Medicine brings to life the patients whom psychosomatic medicine serves and the variety of challenges they face - classic psyche-soma involvement; psychotic attributions to physical illness; catastrophic events and injuries; major systemic medical challenges with comorbid psychopathology; and more. Vivid clinical cases that illustrate important teaching points in the practice of psychosomatic medicine are organized by presenting systemic illness or organ system for ready reference in classroom or consultation settings. Medical students, residents and fellows, and practicing physicians alike will find this volume indispensable. No other single volume offers a broader, more diverse range of engaging, detailed, and nuanced psychosomatic medicine cases, or integrates biopsychosocial assessment and treatment so completely. A practical resource and also an important contribution to psychiatric scholarship, where the study of 'compelling cases' can inform changes in practice, the Casebook of Psychosomatic Medicine represents a vital contribution to the field.
