Description

As long-term cancer survival becomes a widely-shared experience, the quality of life of people living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis is increasingly important. Optimising the prevention and treatment of any psychiatric consequences of certain tumours and treatments is now central to high-quality cancer care. Biological Psychiatry of Cancer and Cancer Treatment provides the reader with expert guidance on how to prevent, detect and manage the 'organic' psychiatric disorders experienced by people with cancer. Containing 13 chapters on topics from 'Surgery and Radiotherapy', and 'Hormone and Cytokine treatments' to 'Clinical Psychiatric Assessment of Patients with Cancer' this unique resource offers readers with fully up-to-date and high-quality information on how to enhance the quality of life for patients living with, and beyond cancer. Offering a unique approach to oncology and psycho-oncology, Biological Psychiatry of Cancer and Cancer Treatment is an invaluable resource for academic psychiatrists, liaison psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, Oncologists, neuro-oncologists, palliative medicine doctors and drug development scientists.

About the Author
Dr Hodgkiss studied medicine at Trinity College, University of Cambridge and Guy's Hospital Medical School, University of London. His postgraduate training in psychiatry was on the Guy's rotation, including 3 years as Clinical Lecturer in Biological Psychiatry at the National Unit for Affective Disorders. He then trained as a Lacanian psychoanalyst and, with a Wellcome Fellowship at University College London, wrote an MD thesis about the history of chronic pain, later published as a single-author monograph, From Lesion to Metaphor (2000). He was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists in 2008. Dr Hodgkiss has worked clinically with people affected by cancer for over twenty years. He was a Consultant Liaison Psychiatrist at St Thomas' Hospital for 17 years before moving to The Royal Marsden Hospital in 2014 to specialise in the psychiatry of cancer. Dr Hodgkiss recently co-chaired the mental health & psychology pathway group at London Cancer Alliance.

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
