Rezensionen

'The current book is the first to provide comprehensive information needed for any mental health professional entering the field or established providers looking for an update on recent practices and approaches. This book is a pleasure to read and will be an invaluable resource for any mental health care provider encountering youth with GI issues.'

Professor Carlo Di Lorenzo, Nationwide Children's Hospital, The Ohio State University, USA.

'Van Tilburg, Reed and Knowles have assembled an all-star cast that will make this book pivotal to current clinical care of disorders of gut-brain interaction in both health and disease and provide the basis for future research in the field!'

'What has become clear is the importance of the relationship between pediatric gastroenterologists and psychologists who collaborate on the care of so many patients. But, for that to happen seamlessly, they need to speak the same language and share a common knowledge base. This book will become the standard road atlas for that communication. It so nicely facilitates a mutual understanding of the complexities of the patients we share. Psychogastroenterology is a tour de force that will quickly become required reading.' Professor Jeffrey S. Hyams, Connecticut Children's Medical Center, University of Connecticut School of Medicine, USA.

'This is a must-have practical and essential resource for health professionals providing care to children with gastrointestinal (GI) conditions.'

Professor Tonya M. Palermo, Seattle Children's Research Institute, University of Washington, USA.
