The Textbook of Medical Psychiatry was written for the wide range
of clinicians who grapple with the diagnostic and treatment
challenges inherent in this clinical reality: medical and
psychiatric illnesses do not occur in isolation from one another.
Because assessment in these cases may be challenging, the book
addresses general medical conditions that directly cause
psychiatric illness and the medical differential diagnosis of
common psychiatric illnesses. In addition, the book describes how
the presentation and treatment of both psychiatric and medical
disorders are modified by the presence of comorbid conditions. The
editors, who are at the forefront of the field, have assembled an
outstanding group of contributors, all of whom share the objective
of helping psychiatrists, internists, neurologists, trainees, and
other health care providers recognize the medical issues facing
patients with psychiatric symptoms, and vice versa. Proper
assessment and treatment are dependent on the skillful application
of this knowledge. Written in down-to-earth, clinically grounded
prose, this text * Provides a comprehensive exploration of
approaches to the patient, including perspectives from internists
and neurologists on dealing with diagnostic uncertainty and special
chapters on the neurological examination, cognitive testing,
neuroimaging, laboratory testing, and toxicological syndromes.*
Presents a review of medical disorders that can directly or
indirectly affect the clinical presentation and course of
psychiatric disorders.* Presents a review of psychiatric disorders
that can be caused by medical illnesses or affect the clinical
presentation and course of medical disorders.* Includes chapters on
pain, insomnia, and somatoform disorders, conditions that accompany
many psychiatric and medical illnesses and that fall in the
boundary between these practice settings. In clinics and offices
every day, physicians encounter patients whose presentations are
atypical or whose symptoms are not responsive to usual care. When
facing the challenges of accurately assessing complicated symptoms
and managing the care of complex patients, clinicians often seek
advice from colleagues whose perspectives and expertise they trust.
The chapters in the Textbook of Medical Psychiatry can be consulted
in much the same fashion, expanding clinicians' knowledge base and
helping them to more effectively diagnose and care for their
patients.
