Reviews

As a follow-up to the 2005 manual by Wise and Rundell, this second edition pulls out all the stops and has all the requisite bells and whistles!... This handy book has grown in size and depth during the same timeframe in which the recognized subspecialty of psychosomatic medicine has matured in its scope and mission. Whether used as a quick reference or as a good read from start to finish, the Clinical Manual of Psychosomatic Medicine: A Guide to Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Second Edition, will enhance your clinical practice and elevate your knowledge.

The sections on specific medical conditions provide a core 'need to know' for anyone working at the interface between psychiatry and general medicine. Topics ranging from how to deal with the psychiatric consequences of a terrorist attack to recognition of hypercalcaemia are discussed in chapters divided along the lines of medical specialties This is a well-constructed and very useful general text. It is ideally positioned as a hands-on resource for day to day practice.
