Description
This book aims to bring together current research on the interrelationship between psychological factors, pain and anaesthesia. It is one of the first to integrate the perspectives of cognitive psychology, behavioural medicine and anaesthesia. Specific topics covered include the clinical relevance of cognitive effects of anaesthetic agents, anaesthesia and psychiatric factors in ECT and the proposition that malignant hyperplexia is a type of stress syndrome. There is also more discussion of the place of psychological factors in surgical recovery, pain and intensive care.
