Medical psychology in health care

While the development of science in recent years has significantly improved the ways to diagnose and treat diseases, approaching them as a subjective agency yields an even higher success rate. Such treatment requires the use of psychological knowledge and places increased demands on the physician. The relationship between doctor and patient has changed in recent years, which is also related to the increase in chronic and civilisation diseases. Therefore, in order to make their treatment successful, the physician makes more efforts to actively involve the patient in the whole process. Within the biopsychosocial concept of treatment, the expert turns into a coordinator of the activities of the individual members of the medical team.
The book is intended for medical students and physicians in postgraduate and continuing medical education. It is also suitable for other team members involved in biopsychosocial treatment: clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers and clergy.
