Psychology of Medicine and Surgery by Peter Salmon
Clinical psychologists and counsellors increasingly work with doctors, nurses, and medical therapists to implement psychological measures that increase the effectiveness, or mediate the ill effects, of medical treatment. This is a clear and concise guide to the body of knowledge in this field and to best practice in the clinical context.
"..offers an excellent introduction to the psychological aspects of healthcare..." (Journal of Health Psychology, Vol.16, No. 4, 2001)
"...a well-written and lively book.." (British Journal of Health Psychology, September 2001)
"This book could serve as a very useful basis for teaching a broad range of health professionals. Issues could then be picked up by course tutors to enable discussions of the more controversial areas and an opportunity for more in depth treatment of certain topics. Clinical and health psychologists would benefit from reading this book as an introduction to applied psychology in general medicine and surgery. Given the breadth of the book, most readers are going to find sections relevant to their own work and benefit from Peter Salmon's knowledge and experience of working in health care setting."
