This book offers a step-by-step guide to mental health assessment
for bariatric surgery patients. A general introduction explains the
concepts of bariatric psychology and psychiatry, their relevance in
contemporary bariatric surgery, and reasons to include
psychologists and psychiatrists in multidisciplinary teams taking
care of bariatric patients. The following four chapters address the
aspects of mental health that are investigated by bariatric
psychology. The psychological processes analyzed here play a major
role in influencing patients' perception of the outcomes of
bariatric surgery and in determining their commitment to lifestyle
changes and follow-up programs. The second part of the book
includes nine chapters addressing the clinical conditions relevant
to bariatric psychiatry. For each condition, the major focus is on
the impact of psychopathology on bariatric surgery outcomes (weight
loss, weight regain, quality of life) and the impact of surgery on
its course (remission, worsening, de novo onset). Each chapter in
this part includes a discussion of the diagnostic instruments
(i.e., structured interviews, clinician-rated tests, and
patient-rated tests) that should be used to obtain a valid
assessment of the patient's mental status. Separate chapters focus
on psychiatric complications (e.g., suicide and addiction transfer)
and psychological problems related to quality of life (e.g., body
image dissatisfaction) that may emerge postoperatively. Data on
these postsurgery conditions has been reported only recently and,
therefore, no published book deals with them. The final chapter
offers an overview of unsolved issues in bariatric psychology and
psychiatry and reviews emerging research findings that are likely
to change assessment and care of bariatric patients' mental health
in the near future. Given its scope-and its wealth of tables,
diagrams, mnemonics, and key fact boxes-the book will be an
invaluable reference tool for clinicians.
