This working reference manual for primary health care providers and health psychologists first discusses how to perform an effective clinical interview of the patient, practical psychometric assessment procedures and other issues. Detailed chapters then address the most important medical conditions dealt with by psychologists, such as cardiovascular and respiratory disorders, chronic pain, diabetes, endocrine and gastrointestinal problems, AIDS, MS and obstetric and gynecological conditions. The authors also discuss in detail how to promote effective methods which enable patients to cope with their medical conditions, including individual, group and community involvement with traditional and alternative health methods, as well as risk reduction in minority populations.

By A Customer
This review is from: Clinical Handbook of Health Psychology (Hardcover)
This is one of the best books I have seen in the field of clinical health psychology. It is extremely thorough and provides a comprehensive overview of many medical problems encountered by health psychologists. The focus of the book is on both the science of empiricim and the care involved in the healing relationship of therapist and client.
