SUMMARY

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.Morrison, James is the author of 'When Psychological Problems Mask Medical Disorders A Guide for Psychotherapists', published 1999 under ISBN 9781572305397 and ISBN 1572305398.
