Nearly 35 million Americans suffer from chronic pain, and knowledge and skills in pain management are essential for every practicing psychiatrist. Many patients are referred when attempts by other doctors have failed to relieve pain, while others seek help in dealing with the depression, debilitation, and isolation that can accompany chronic pain. To help you treat such patients, Concise Guide to Pain Management for Psychiatrists is an ideal on-the-spot resource.

This handy reference serves as an instant library of current guidance on pain management. It contains a great deal of practical information in a concise format:

Guidelines for diagnosis and assessment, based on the latest literature
Pharmacologic therapies and psychotherapeutic approaches to dealing with pain and its emotional, psychological, physical, and social effects
Special populations, including the elderly, pediatrics, and ethnic groups
Legal and forensic issues

Small in size, this guide is designed to fit into your lab coat or jacket pocket for quick reference on rounds. A detailed table of contents and index and tables, figures, and other charts help you pinpoint information quickly. Concise Guide to Pain Management for Psychiatrists conforms to the standards of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology content areas emphasized in the subspecialty pain management certification examination. Authoritative and practical, Concise Guide to Pain Management for Psychiatrists is an invaluable tool for practitioners.
