Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine: A Guide to Consultation-liaison Psychiatry
Several recent efforts have produced excellent textbooks in psychosomatic medicine. However, none of these has been useful as a handy and accessible guide for day-to-day management of medical patients with psychiatric presentations. Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine: A Guide to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry now fills this void. A pocket-sized volume, easily carried on the medical wards, yet packed full of useful clinical information on diagnosis, etiology and management. Most of the guide is well referenced, which is valuable for both teaching and consultation. This volume will be a winner with residents, fellows, and clinical faculty. --David Gitlin, M.D., Director, Division of Medical Psychiatry, Brigham and Women's/Faulkner Hospitals, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA
