Von der hinteren Coverseite

The recognition, diagnosis and management of depression in patients suffering from physical illnesses is a subject of growing importance and has contributed to the emergence of the specialty of "Liaison Psychiatry" or "General Hospital Psychiatry". The treatment of such patients often involves junior or mid-career psychiatrists working in hospital posts, but medical specialists also increasingly need to appreciate the effects of depression on disease progression. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive and scholarly, yet practical approach to the topic, concentrating on the presentation, assessment, aetiology, management and prognosis of depression occurring in a range of physical disorders.
