Psychosomatic medicine: an international guide for the primary care setting. Springer Nature.https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-27080-3978-3-030-27080-3https://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/8950The book is divided into a general part and a part with specific clinical manifestations. The general part addresses topics that are relevant to all clinical manifestations such as the interaction between mind and body, doctor–patient relationship, doctor– patient communication, the family interview, and the Balint group. The second part addresses specific clinical manifestations that are most frequently encountered in primary care, including depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, somatoform disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, alcohol dependency, and psychosomatics of life threatening diseases such as cancer and coronary heart disease. Each chapter is divided into diagnostics, treatment, and pitfalls. In each chapter, typical case studies are used to demonstrate the diagnostic and therapeutic steps. As a result, the book has a high practical relevance, and can also be used directly as a course book in training in Psychosomatic Basic Care.enPsychosomatic MedicineClinical manifestationsDoctorBook
