Description:
Anxiety,
depression, and difficulty adjusting to medical conditions are just a few of
the factors that can complicate recovery for hospitalized patients.
In
this book, Susan M. Labott describes how health psychologists, working with the
medical team as consultants, can help determine the causes of such symptoms and
provide appropriate treatment and actionable input for doctors, nurses,
psychiatrists, social workers, and others.
In
the ever-evolving US health care system, pressing needs for cost containment
and preventive care present new opportunities for psychologists to work with
medical inpatients in hospital settings.
This
book is a guide for health psychology trainees and seasoned clinical
psychologists who wish to expand their practice into consulting. Using examples
modeled after actual medical notes, readers will learn to review and understand
patient medical records, build rapport with patients, and have frank
discussions of the complicated issues that can arise during patient interviews.
The
book also offers recommendations for handling special circumstances in the
inpatient setting, such as pain, delirium, and end-of-life care.
