Summary:

This condensed version of "The American Psychiatric Publishing Textbook of Psychosomatic Medicine" focuses on psychiatric care for medically ill patients. "Essentials of Psychosomatic Medicine" presents that portion of the larger work devoted to specific disorders, enabling the practitioner to assist patients with comorbid psychiatric and general medical illnesses complicating each other's management. Each chapter covers epidemiology, psychological factors affecting specific diseases, the effects those diseases have on mental health, diagnostic issues, and treatment, including psychotherapy, psychopharmacology, psychiatric side effects of drugs for medical conditions, and drug interactions relevant to the diseases covered.
