Those who do not practice consultation-liaison psychiatry regularly will likely find this text to be an effective tool with which they may better assess and treat their patients, exactly as the authors of the book intended. The consultation-liaison psychiatrist may utilize this text as a teaching tool, whether he is teaching residents, students, or internists. The tremendous scope of medical illness in psychiatric patients makes it difficult to cover any one illness in detail, but this text serves as a useful jumping-off point to further explore the specifics of a particular illness from the exhaustive list of references the authors have provided. - Autumn Ning, M.D., Psychosomatics, August 2003
