Management of Clinical Depression and Anxiety provides a brief set of clinical guidelines for handling clinical depression and anxiety in cancer patients. Using a practical toolkit format, this volume covers a variety of topics including: assessment methods, treatment methods, psychiatric emergencies and disorders, policies, service and ethical issues, confidentiality, and communication issues. Self-assessment quizzes round out each chapter, and the volume concludes with an appendix of patient screening tools. Part of the Psycho-oncology Care: Companion Guides for Clinicians series, this highly readable, concise pocket guide is an ideal resource for oncology clinicians and mental health professionals training in psycho-oncology to use as a quick reference in everyday practice.

Reviews
This is a great down to earth guide, for all those involved in clinical care, through the maze of depression, suicidal ideation and simple inability to cope with the bad news that cancer patients have to face... this is an excellent volume, well edited and easy to read. I look forward to more titles in this important series contributing to the practical care of cancer patients. * Professor Karol Sikora *
