"Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient, Third Edition has set a new standard for texts in this area. Fundamentally the book is a true compendium of what the Psychosomatic Psychiatrist must have. It is impossible for a clinician to remember all of this data so it is mandatory that such a book be at their fingertips!" --Thomas N. Wise, MD, Professor of Psychiatry, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD
"The third edition of Psychiatric Care of the Medical Patient 3rd Edition extends the philosophy that guided the first two editions: that Medical Psychiatry is a distinct subspecialty taking advantage of physicians' full breadth of psychiatric capabilities combined with detailed knowledge of one or more medical-surgical specialties. This is a landmark textbook that should be on the shelf of every physician who cares for patients with comorbid mental and medical disorders." --James R. Rundell, MD, Professor of Psychiatry and Psychology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN
"This is a must-have reference for all clinicians who work with patients with medical and psychiatric comorbidity, whether they are medical or psychosomatic psychiatrists, combined trained psychiatrists (internal medicine, family medicine, neurology, child/adolescent), or medical providers. The editors and chapter authors are leading experts in their fields, and many have training and expertise beyond their psychiatric specialties. This lends an invaluable perspective to this well-thought-out and comprehensive book." --Doody's Health Sciences Book Review
