Críticas
"Therapists of all backgrounds and orientations who treat the diagnostic process with the seriousness it deserves will want to have this book in their library. James Morrison has created a readable, non-jargonized, and long-overdue primer of medical conditions that have significant psychological symptoms. Both medical and nonmedical practitioners often need reminding that what looks like depression or anxiety may be secondary to a disease process. Morrison writes with clarity and wit, in a forthright style that respects both the reader and the subject matter. That such a concise and modest book can extend one's diagnostic range so far is a fine achievement." --Nancy McWilliams, PhD, Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers University "Everything you always needed to know about psychobiological interactions/m-/finally, in one convenient source." --Arnold A. Lazarus, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Rutgers University. Author of Brief but Comprehensive Psychotherapy and coauthor of The 60-Second Shrink "As I'm coming to expect from James Morrison, When Psychological Problems Mask Medical Disorders is a lucidly written, clever, concise, and eminently usable work for mental health practitioners of all disciplines. Morrison's unique writing gifts and wry sense of humor engage the reader throughout. Comprehensive in scope, this user-friendly manuscript provides important pearls on 60 medical/neuropsychological that often are masked by psychological symptoms, and presents them in a manner that can be absorbed by even the most medically naive readers. Thus, Morrison's book is well worth owning, reading, reviewing, and referencing for not only psychiatrists and generalists, but also for counselors, social workers, nurse practitioners, psychologists and anyone else in the psychological healing business. Clinicians will be sure to keep it well within arm's length of their desks." --Sidney Zisook, MD, University of California, San Diego "A much needed manual for therapists. Helps in diagnosing mental problems differentially." --Luis A. Escovar, Florida International University, Miami "This book describes a practical guide for psychotherapists who are doing a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment of newly referred patients, and also encourages a comprehensive review of patients with mental health problems who have not shown improvement after several months treatment."--"Australian Journal of Psychotherapy" "James Morrison's book is a gem. He addresses common medical illnesses that produce psychological symptoms in a refreshing manner, making the book an excellent review text for fellow psychiatrists and nonphysician psychotherapists....His occasionally tongue-in-cheek style makes for pleasant readability without minimizing the importance of his message....Tables...are laid out in easily readable form and useful for quick cross-referencing....This is book worth its weight in gold: it is eminently readable and can save some lives and bring improvement to many others." --"JAMA" "At once a primer on the collaboration of psychotherapist and physician and a useful reference book for this purpose. Although it is intended for psychotherapists with limited medical training, it may also be useful to primary care physicians and other medical clinicians who may be the first contact for patients who present with psychiatric symptoms." --"Psychiatric Services" ., ."a useful book for psychotherapists" --"Psychoanalytic Books"
Reseña del editor
Every Psychotherapist knows that clients' medical problems may lead to anxiety, depression, and other forms of emotional distress. But what even seasoned practitioners may not know is that some physical ailments can directly cause psychological symptoms, at times even before an individual feels ill. This highly practical book shows that inexplicable, intractable, or sudden mental health problems (as well as perplexing somatic complaints) may be masking serious medical disorders, and helps clinicians recognize when a medical referral is advisable. Part I provides an overview of clinical observations that are likely to convey medical information. Part II presents vital information about 60 physical disorders - from leading causes of death such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke, to less prevalent conditions including head trauma, epilepsy, and multiple sclerosis. In Part III, an easy-to-read chart cross-tabulates each disorder with its specific symptoms. The volume concludes with an annotated list of important references in medicine, neurology, and mental health, as well as Internet resources on specific medical problems.
This volume is suitable for anyone involved in mental health care, including practitioners and students of psychology, psychiatry, social work, counselling, and other mental health fields.
