Professionals treating physicians need to be attuned to a host of considerations not applicable to other patients - coverage found in "The Physician as Patient". This practical handbook combines the perspectives of two seasoned psychiatrists who have been assessing and treating physicians for more than 30 years and who here discuss not only common illnesses and problems seen in doctors but also the many biopsychosocial treatments that are indicated. Brimming with case examples, the book's reader-friendly style facilitates quick grasp of concepts, while an extensive list of references and websites provides an entry for additional support, making it an indispensable resource for all mental health professionals who take caregivers into their care.
