Overview

This book contains easy-to-use summaries, web resources, checklists, flowcharts, and worksheets found here - all designed to teach the process of psychiatric consultation. Intended as a companion guide to comprehensive but encyclopedic textbooks in psychosomatic medicine, this concise volume combines medication updates with ?how-to? strategies for the psychiatric treatment of patients with cardiovascular, hepatic, renal, pulmonary disease and gastrointestinal symptoms. Chapters are arranged by organ-system, e.g., The Patient With Kidney Disease, The Cardiovascular Patient, for easy reference. Each chapter summarizes the literature, emphasizing diagnostic and treatment considerations for patients with psychiatric symptoms and medical illnesses. Individual chapters cover delirium, pregnancy (a standalone monograph on the treatment of psychiatric illness in pregnancy), HIV, hepatitis C, steroid-induced psychiatric syndromes, and organ transplants.

This is a good book. . . . You can find your way around. The logical structure, with largely predictable and systematic coverage of different systems, is an advantage both for psychiatrists with limited medical knowledge and for physicians with little mental health experience. * British Journal of Psychiatry * The Wyszynskis have done it again! The Manual of Psychiatric Care for the Medically Ill is a practical, concise, case-based approach to the medicine-psychiatry interface-a fitting update to their highly regarded 1996 manual A Case Approach to Medical-Psychiatric Practice. * Journal of Clinical Psychiatry *
