Product Description

Review

Dr. Olden has done an excellent job in editing [an]…overview of the functional gastrointestinal disorders. The book travels up and down the gastrointestinal tract, integrating knowledge and successfully providing a broad biopsychosocial perspective for those who look after such patients.
Clinicians will particularly benefit from reading the chapters on the oesophagus, stomach, and colon, and the chapter on eating disorders….the material presented is practical and well balanced.…The review of non-pharmacological therapies, including biofeedback, relaxation training, cognitive behaviour, and psychotherapy, is illuminating.
This is a good book with messages for both clinicians and researchers….It should be in gasteroenterology libraries everywhere.
…provides a well-organized discussion of gastrointestinal disorders having a strong psychosomatic or behavioral component….The authors are some of the leading experts in this area…
…will be of significant value to psychiatrists and it fills a void in texts that emphasize the psychophysiology of functional bowel disorders.
-Doodys Health Sciences Book Review Journal

Book Description

Presenting an integrated, multidiciplinary approach to understanding functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, this unique reference provides a comprehensive survey of esophageal, gastric, and colonic diseases known to have a strong behavioral or psychosomatic component-detailing the latest technologies used to assess these disorders from both a gastroenterologic and a psychologic perspective.
