Well written and organized book. Some chapters are better than others and there is a certain bias towards the way Mass General does things. But still a excellent resource for any C/L Psychiatrist.

This one of those fantastic textbooks that you find has the most matter-of-fact approach and tips you never knew about before and that perhaps many standard medical textbooks are gone.
You need to use it in association with a standard textbook of psychiatry, but for me this book is a fantastic discovery. I am in my first year of psychaitry training and doing sickbay psychiatry. I had to do a presentation for medical students on somatoform disorders and found so many matter-of-fact suggestions and fantastic cases presentations in the book. In some way this textbook manages to make reading and learning enjoyable and even more significantly, memorable

As a involved psychiatrist with C-L responsibilities, this book has given me the aptly tool to deal with many clinical issues in the medical and surgical environment. Despite the exhaustive and elaborate details about common topics, each chapter is quick to digest. Indeed, it reads like a handbook but it has the details of a textbook. I highly urge it especially that this well-written literature has helped me pass the certification in Psychosomatic Medicine (American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology).

This is simply the best overview of psychiatry now available. If you handle human beings–or simply want to know them better,read this book. Why this one? Medical “literature,” unfortunately, is often small more than data-mongering. Data can be fascinating, but on its own, it will not help you care for patients competently and compassionately. Very seldom, a medical text goes beyond data and in rank to knowledge, an informed, balanced, comprehensive, learned, and matter-of-fact perspective. This book is *everlastingly* knowledgeable, but often goes one better,achieving (and conveys) that most rare of medical traits, wisdom. Read this book: your patients, and your do will be better for it.

OK, so it’s not ALL of C&L, but it does represent the equivalent of the best review articles of each C&L theme(the way MY sickbay teaches the theme.)In fact some of the hints, especially by Dr./Fr. Casem, I have not found anywhere else, and are very matter-of-fact even at my basic level (I am a psychiatry resident,curently doing my C&L rotation.) My attending was so impressed at my “knowledge” (I’d read the book!), HE went out and bought one, too. If you’ve an interest in C&L psychiatry, or in the management of “trying” patients on any sickbay service, this book surely tops the list.
