In the decade since the first edition of this work was published, a seemingly miraculous array of reproductive technologies and associated issues has emerged. Obstetricians and gynecologists are hard-pressed to deal with the startling breadth and depth of these issues, which require mastery over a daunting combination of ever-increasing scientific knowledge, technical skills, long hours, legal liability, and exposure to clinical situations of overwhelming emotional intensity.
Psychiatrists have a vital role to play in this arena. Both a clinical and a theoretical sourcebook, this second edition addresses every major area of contemporary concern in its three sections. Pregnancy covers topics from the psychology of normal gestation to physical and psychiatric complications during and after pregnancy. Gynecology discusses not only common gynecologic problems but also more controversial issues such as induced abortion and the new reproductive technologies. General Issues offers a broad, balanced view of topics rarely found in the literature, such as men's reactions to women's reproductive events, substance abuse and eating disorders, sexual and physical abuse (often part of the histories of patients with personality disorders and posttraumatic stress disorders), ethical and legal issues, and health care for lesbian patients. Of special significance is Dr. Stotland's chapter on how consultation-liaison services are provided to obstetrics and gynecology services.
This practical and scholarly volume is exceptionally useful as a teaching reference for medical and other health care students and residents in psychiatry and obstetrics and gynecology. It also provides a valuable resource for the clinician working to improve the psychological well-being of women patients.
