• Sommario/riassunto: This book addresses the challenges clinicians face when working with patients facing complicated medical diagnosis for which transplantation is considered. Written by experts in transplant psychiatry, each chapter approaches a common psychiatric challenge faced by transplant candidates and recipients. Chapters meticulously share clinical expertise that provides a framework for future discussions without neglecting the fact that each transplant patient is unique in the complexity of their medical diagnosis. Additionally, the book examines comorbidities in which few specialists have received training, including transplant-related posttraumatic stress disorder, post-transplant cognitive impairment, the collaboration between mental health and transplant clinicians, postoperative seizures, and a wide range of other complicated topics. Transplant Psychiatry is an excellent case-based guide to mental healthcare delivery for all clinicians who may work with transplant patients, including psychiatrists, transplant surgeons, internal medicine specialists, hematologists, transplant social workers and transplant coordinators.
