| Summary: | This book reviews significant aspects of psychosomatic medicine, thereby contributing to the ongoing re-evaluation of this important discipline. Leading researchers examine past experiences with a view towards proposing new areas of future research in both theory and clinical practice. The first section deals with psychiatric factors of importance in physical illness, and with morbidity and mortality in psychiatric patients. Other major topics include neurobiological aspects of psychopathology, as well as the influence of medical technology, health care and drug therapies on psychiatric symptoms. The psychosomatic aspects of AIDS are also discussed. This volume provides a valuable overview for all those concerned with the interactions between medicine, mind and body in man. |
