There is now widespread recognition that emotional problems, to say
nothing of the interactions of emotions with other manifestations
of illness and disease, constitute a substantial component of all
human suffering. For too long the pro vision of medical care has
been restricted to the physical aspects of that suffer ing while
the psychological aspects have been shunned. Whether through igno
rance about the nature of emotional illness and its clinical
management, or through uncertainty about the legitimacy of their
ministrations, physicians and many other health professionals have
left the care of psychiatric problems to psychiatrists and other
mental health professionals. For a variety of reasons this strategy
is no longer feasible and substantial changes are required. The
extent of the needs, the nature of the presenting problems, the ex
pectations of the patients, the prohibitive costs of alternative
approaches, and the lack of trained mental health professionals
make it imperative that general health workers learn to cope with
the psychological and behavioral health prob lems of their
patients. There are no other alternatives if the realities of
comtem porary suffering, limited resources and psychobiological
knowledge are accepted. It is to the pragmatic knowledge base for
this essential component of contemporary health care that this book
makes a seminal contribution. Dr."
