"This book describes a practical guide for psychotherapists who are doing a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment of newly referred patients, and also encourages a comprehensive review of patients with mental health problems who have not shown improvement after several months treatment."--Australian Journal of Psychotherapy

"James Morrison's book is a gem. He addresses common medical illnesses that produce psychological symptoms in a refreshing manner, making the book an excellent review text for fellow psychiatrists and nonphysician psychotherapists....His occasionally tongue-in-cheek style makes for pleasant readability without minimizing the importance of his message....Tables...are laid out in easily readable form and useful for quick cross-referencing....This is book worth its weight in gold: it is eminently readable and can save some lives and bring improvement to many others." --JAMA

"At once a primer on the collaboration of psychotherapist and physician and a useful reference book for this purpose. Although it is intended for psychotherapists with limited medical training, it may also be useful to primary care physicians and other medical clinicians who may be the first contact for patients who present with psychiatric symptoms." --Psychiatric Services

"...a useful book for psychotherapists" --Psychoanalytic Books
