Basiswissen Psychosomatische Medizin und Psychotherapie

Psychosomatic medicine deals with the interactions between physical, mental and social processes that play a role in the development, course and management of diseases. Psychosomatic know-how is therefore important for all clinical subjects!The proven "Fritzsche/Wirsching" gives a concise, clear and practical introduction to this exciting subject: the authors describe psychosomatic medicine without digression, concentrating on the most important things. The focus is on the individual clinical pictures and the practice of conducting conversations.

The second edition has been carefully revised, completely updated and offers some new features: New chapters, e.g. "Classification and Diagnosis of Mental Disorders", "Sexual Dysfunctions" and "Sleep Disorders" complement the content; where possible, outlooks on the upcoming ICD-11 classification have been added. Realistic case studies help to span the arc into the everyday medical work, and newly added practice questions facilitate the reliable knowledge check!

The book follows the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM) and is suitable for preparation for the internship and the associated examinations as well as the state examination. But it also serves as an easy-to-read guide for physicians in clinics and practices.
