Treating stroke requires attention not only to patients' physical
needs, but to their psychiatric needs as well. Unfortunately, there
has been a considerable lack of literature that tackles this
important facet of recovery. The Psychiatry of Stroke fills this
void through a comprehensive examination that explores the mental
and physical issues faced by stroke patients and offers up-to-date
treatment options. Based on extensive clinical experience, the text
offers practical advice for improving the treatment of stroke by
increasing the attention paid to its mental aspects. Detailed and
definitive, this unique text demonstrates how mental impairment
sets limits to stroke treatment and rehabilitation and shows how to
evaluate and treat these impairments. Accessible to a wide range of
readers, this new edition presents detailed reviews of classical
papers as well as more basic outlines that provide a general
overview. Regardless of familiarity, readers will find
comprehensive and authoritative guidance for improving treatment.
Some of the topics covered include: background and causation risk
factors and diagnosis of stroke localization of mental functions
neuropsychopharmachology psychiatric syndromes apathy and failure
to rehabilitate depression, anxiety, and dementia sex anger and
violence outcome and effects the process of recovery family
treatment team legal issues, money, and ethics and much more! The
Psychiatry of Stroke also includes a wealth of informative tables
and diagrams as well as a full glossary of terms. Extensively
referenced, this important text also provides useful appendices
that look at resources for caregivers and the anatomy and
historical significance of stroke. Physicians and mental health
professionals who treat stroke patients; staff of stroke units and
rehabilitation hospitals and centers; fellows in geriatric
psychiatry, geriatrics, and stroke programs; gerontology students
and educators; and families of the victims of stroke or vascular
dementia will find this book an invaluable day-to-day resource.
