This easy-to-use manual is the only review tool of its kind! Distilled from the parent text on consultation-liaison psychiatry, it presents hundreds of questions-with rationales-that challenge the reader's knowledge in all aspects of psychosomatic medicine. Written by a practicing clinician-from one of the premier psychiatric departments in the world-for those working at the interface of medicine and psychiatry, it covers the entire burgeoning field of psychosomatic medicine. Readers will also find how to best prepare for the first-time ever board examination in the field coming in June 2005.
