Description
Recognized as the "gold standard" in consultation psychiatry, the newest edition of this handbook is an authoritative, compact, and affordable resource for psychiatrists, residents, and non-psychiatric medical staff. Written by members of the prestigious MGH Department of Psychiatry, it contains practical advice and strategies for diagnosing and treating the most common psychiatric problems seen in the general hospital setting. For the psychiatrist, it remains a practical guide to cognitive, behavioural, and psychopharmacological tools needed to diagnose patients and to advise non-psychiatrists. For the primary care provider, it provides basic psychiatric information to assist in care of medical patients under psychiatric care or who have a psychiatric dimension to their illness.
