Reviews
The book successfully blends the practicalities of prescribing with thoughtful discussions of the challenges beyond psychopharmacology. It is a great reminder for the specialist and a thorough guide for the relative novice looking to build knowledge. It will always be handy to have on the shelf and a really useful resource for supervision with trainees. (Jamie Pick, European Journal of Palliative Care (EJPC), Vol. 22 (3), 2015) This book reviews psychiatric care in the context of oncology and palliative care. ... The audience is identified as 'all those working with cancer patients' in eight different specialties. While any healthcare providers working with cancer patients would benefit from this book, psychiatrists, particularly those involved with consult and liaison psychiatry who work with cancer patients with mental healthcare needs, will likely get the most from this book.
