Clinical Psycho-Oncology
The level of psychological distress and the ability to adjust to a diagnosis of cancer are highly variable. Medical factors, psychological factors prior to diagnosis and social factors account for this variability. By understanding these variables, the clinician can better assess and manage the distress caused by the diagnosis and provide the most appropriate medical treatment or psychological intervention. This practical handbook will address the principal behavioural and psychological problems associated with cancer. Where appropriate, it adopts a broader, multicultural perspective, in line with the aim of the World Psychiatric Association and the Federation of Psycho-Oncology societies. T...
Somatization Across Cultures
The body is a cultural vessel, giving voice to the unspoken words of the soul and transforming the nuances of distress into a script of symptoms that echoes across diverse cultural landscapes. Within the intricate tapestry of human experience, certain threads stand out, weaving a story that defies boundaries and spans the globe. Somatization Across Cultures unfurls these threads, illuminating the diverse landscape of somatisation disorders and their interplay with culture, identity, and healing practices. As you embark on this literary voyage, prepare to traverse continents and minds, exploring the profound connection between the physical and the psychological, the cultural and the clinical. Part of the Oxford Cultural Psychiatry series, this volume brings together the various somatisation syndromes: their description, presentation, assessment, and management in one place. It is a fascinating read for any psychiatrist, physician, clinical psychologist, public health specialist, nurse and other healthcare professional, as well as any sociologist, anthropologist, and policymaker, and anyone else interested in this area of psychiatry.

Psychiatry of Intellectual Disability Across Cultures
Intellectual disability is a lifelong condition involving deficits in both intellectual and adaptive functioning. Individuals with intellectual disability experience a greater burden of co-occurring physical and mental illness compared to the general population, and often need a significant degree of support from healthcare professionals and carers, as well as family and friends. Additionally, their lives can be greatly influenced both positively and negatively by the cultures in which they exist, including societal attitudes, belief systems and norms. An insightful addition to the Oxford Cultural Psychiatry series, Psychiatry of Intellectual Disability across Cultures explores the health, support structures, and societal attitudes towards people with intellectual disabilities throughout the world. Written by international experts of intellectual disability and mental health, this comprehensive textbook covers broad topics such as anthropology, mental health, physical health, research, and sexuality. It also comprises chapters dedicated to specific geographic regions, such as Africa, America, Australasia, Europe, India, the Middle East, and the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Attention is also paid to the emerging theme of adjuvant use of psychotropic drugs for the treatment of symptoms or syndromes not primarily related to psychiatric disorders. In addition, practical suggestions are provided for dealing with special populations, including children and the elderly. The book is designed to be easy to read and to reference, with helpful concise tables and boxes. The authors include some of the most renowned clinicians working in the field of psycho-oncology.

Can Artificial Intelligence and Big Data Analytics Save the Future of Psychiatry?
This book is the second of the series about the imperatives for the search for new psychiatry. As stated in my recent 2021 book about: The Search for New Psychiatry, current psychiatric practices have failed many: patients and their families, their doctors and the society at large. That was the end of the 2021 book and the beginning of this book as a follow up in search for pathways to a new and more effective science-based practice Based on its major contributions to the recent successful and expedient development of the Covid 19 vaccines, I am proposing the same pathway of using the new revolution in informatics as the way to save and secure the future of psychiatry and that is what I am r...
