Produktbeschreibung

By providing ample background knowledge, this book empowers the obstetrician-gynecologist to be in the key coordinating role, and to communicate effectively with all parties and health workers involved in psychological care. It meets the needs of doctors that are not typically covered by their training, for example communication skills, coping and adjustment in pregnancy, and communicating with cancer patients. Individual chapters show how to use the consultation to maximum benefit for both patient and doctor. Easy-to-read with stand-alone chapters, this book covers key aspects of OB/GYN, and addresses areas not covered in other texts. It is relevant to all stages of O & G practice - from trainees to consultants, and will even appeal to some lay readers. This book offers topics in psychological care to trainees and specialist in O & G, helps them understand the emotional problems their patients face, and shows them how to undertake psychological care.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"Psychological Challenges in Obstetrics and Gynecology examines a topic that is important in everyday clinical practice but inadequately addressed by basic or specialist training. ... Headings, key points and summary boxes provide structure, clinical scenarios and vignettes bring the text to life and most chapters suggest useful websites and further reading. This book is an excellent resource for any clinician wishing to further their understanding of the interaction between psychological and somatic disorders in obstetrics and gynaecology." (Khaled MK Ismail, The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, October, 2008)
