Description
Since its beginnings in 1929, consultation-liaison psychiatry has grown in tandem with the dramatic increase in our scientific knowledge about the relationship between psychological factors and medical illness. Today, nearly 3000 psychiatrists in the US work at the forefront of psychiatry's interaction with other medical specialties, devoting at least 25 pe cent of their professional time to consultation-liaison psychiatry. This second edition, meticulously researched, clearly written, and designed for ease of use, brings together the body of knowledge and skills that defines the subspecialty of consultation-liaison psychiatry. More than 100 clinical and academic leaders share their knowledge, expertise, and research within these pages, offering practical guidance based on their firsthand clinical experience in evaluating and treating psychiatric disorders in patients with concomitant medical or surgical illness.
