The Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine, both
educates psychiatrists and mental health professionals practicing in
hospital settings about the relationship between physiological processes and
psychological and behavioral factors and arms them with the evidence they
need to inform hospital administrators about the value of the services they
render. Specifically, this new edition:
• Expands the first edition's content to encompass more than two dozen
topics most commonly encountered by residents and staff psychiatrists.
• Provides concise information on psychiatric conditions—such as
delirium, depression, and dementia—that can interfere with medical care if
not addressed.
• Offers a revised format of bulleted lists that
maximizes accessibility of critical information so that clinicians can
readily locate the required material.
• Emphasizes the core competencies
adopted for the subspecialty of psychosomatic medicine (recognized by the
American Board of Medical Specialties since 2003) to provide a benchmark for
skill development across training programs and academic departments.
•
Reflects the way care is most often delivered—by a multidisciplinary team
providing evidence-based, individualized treatment focused on either the
clinical condition (e.g., obesity) or the treatment setting (e.g., primary
care). This emphasis on integrated care contextualizes the information
presented in a useful, real-world manner.
Authoritative, practical, and user-friendly, the Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine is an outstanding resource that equips the clinician with current, concise, relevant data and counsel to guide decision making and optimize care of medical and surgical patients with psychiatric comorbidities.
As a follow-up to the 2005 manual by Wise and Rundell, this second edition pulls out all the stops and has all the requisite bells and whistles!... This handy book has grown in size and depth during the same timeframe in which the recognized subspecialty of psychosomatic medicine has matured in its scope and mission. Whether used as a quick reference or as a good read from start to finish, the Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine: A Guide to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Second Edition, will enhance your clinical practice and elevate your knowledge.

The sections on specific medical conditions provide a core 'need to know' for anyone working at the interface between psychiatry and general medicine. Topics ranging from how to deal with the psychiatric consequences of a terrorist attack to recognition of hypercalcaemia are discussed in chapters divided along the lines of medical specialties This is a well-constructed and very useful general text. It is ideally positioned as a hands-on resource for day to day practice.
