Produktbeschreibung
Serious physical illness may often lead to psychiatric disorders. In this book, noted Johns Hopkins psychiatrist Phillip R. Slavney, M.D., offers a concise guide that will help primary-care physicians evaluate and treat patients who are delicious, demoralized, thinking of suicide, or refusing to follow medical advice. Although such patients exhibit emotional distress, cognitive disturbance, or maladaptive behavior, Slavney explains, the cause of the problem is often their medical illness and treatment. For that reason, many such patients can receive excellent care from their own physicians -- physicians who, given the resistance of insurance companies to specialist referrals, must now bear that responsibility in any event. After an introductory chapter that explains clinical assessment, Slavney treats each of the four common conditions as it occurs in the clinical setting, with illustrative cases and specific advice about evaluation and treatment.
