Download or read book Bariatric Psychology and Psychiatry written by Alfonso Troisi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a step-by-step guide to mental health assessment for bariatric surgery patients. A general introduction explains the concepts of bariatric psychology and psychiatry, their relevance in contemporary bariatric surgery, and reasons to include psychologists and psychiatrists in multidisciplinary teams taking care of bariatric patients. The following four chapters address the aspects of mental health that are investigated by bariatric psychology. The psychological processes analyzed here play a major role in influencing patients’ perception of the outcomes of bariatric surgery and in determining their commitment to lifestyle changes and follow-up programs. The second part of the book includes nine chapters addressing the clinical conditions relevant to bariatric psychiatry. For each condition, the major focus is on the impact of psychopathology on bariatric surgery outcomes (weight loss, weight regain, quality of life) and the impact of surgery on its course (remission, worsening, de novo onset). Each chapter in this part includes a discussion of the diagnostic instruments (i.e., structured interviews, clinician-rated tests, and patient-rated tests) that should be used to obtain a valid assessment of the patient’s mental status. Separate chapters focus on psychiatric complications (e.g., suicide and addiction transfer) and psychological problems related to quality of life (e.g., body image dissatisfaction) that may emerge postoperatively. Data on these postsurgery conditions has been reported only recently and, therefore, no published book deals with them. The final chapter offers an overview of unsolved issues in bariatric psychology and psychiatry and reviews emerging research findings that are likely to change assessment and care of bariatric patients’ mental health in the near future. Given its scope—and its wealth of tables, diagrams, mnemonics, and key fact boxes—the book will be an invaluable reference tool for clinicians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to present a comprehensive, state-of the-art approach to assessing and managing bariatric surgery and psychosocial care. Unlike any other text, this book focuses on developing a biopsychosocial understanding of patients’ obesity journey and psychosocial factors contributing to their obesity and its management from an integrated perspective. Psychiatric Care in Severe Obesity takes a 360 approach by covering the disease’s prevalence and relationship to psychiatric illness and social factors, including genetics, neurohormonal pathways and development factors for obesity. This book presents evidence and strategies for assessing psychiatric issues in severe obesity and uses common psychiatric presentations to feature the impact on bariatric surgery and key assessment features for weight loss. Concluding chapters focus on evidence-based psychosocial treatments for supporting patients with weight loss and bariatric surgery and includes educational tools and checklists for assessment, treatment, and care. Experts on non-pharmacological interventions such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy and nutrition education describe treatment approaches in each modality, concluding with pharmacological approaches for psychiatric conditions and eating pathology. Additional tools in the appendices support clinicians, making this the ultimate guide for managing psychiatric illness in patients suffering from severe obesity. As obesity continues to grow in prevalence as a medically recognized epidemic, Psychiatric Care in Severe Obesity serves a vital resource to medical students, psychiatrists, psychologists, bariatric surgeons, primary care physicians, dietitians, mental health nurses, social workers, and all medical professionals working with severely obese patients.

Download or read book Presurgical Psychological Screening written by Andrew Block and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2013 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of many surgical procedures depends not only on the skill of the surgeon and the use of state-of-the-art technology, but also on the actions and characteristics of the patient. Patients' emotional and psychosocial concerns, health-related behaviours, outcome expectations, and compliance with treatment regimen can all strongly influence the ultimate effectiveness of surgery. Thus, mental health professionals are increasingly called upon to perform presurgical psychological screening (PPS) to ensure that patients are given the treatments most likely to be effective, while reducing the chances of worsening their conditions. This book presents PPS procedures for a wide range of surgery types, such as spinal surgery, organ transplantation, bariatric surgery, and plastic surgery. Drawing on both research and clinical experience, the authors explain how to conduct PPS, communicate results to patients and surgeons, and identify possible pre- or post-surgery interventions to mitigate risk factors and maximise the likelihood of surgical success. Case studies and a discussion of bioethics are included

This volume brings together contributions from leading investigators in the field. They review and analyze research on the nature of adversity and its relationship to major types of psychopathology including schizophrenia, depression, alcoholism and other substance use disorders, antisocial personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and nonspecific distress. Adversity, Stress, and Psychopathology is the only book to offer such a comprehensive and authoritative overview of the role of psychosocial stress in mental disorders. It will be welcomed by psychiatrists: psychologists, especially clinical, health and social; public health researchers, especially epidemiologists; and social scientists, especially sociologists.

Download or read book Psychological and Family Correlates and Predictors of Pass delay from the Preoperative Psychological Evaluation and Postoperative Bariatric Surgery Outcomes written by Haley Marie Kiser and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS) clinical practice guidelines, all patients seeking bariatric surgery are required to have a preoperative psychological evaluation. The purpose of the psychological evaluation is to assess current and untreated mental health diagnoses, disordered eating, substance use and psychosocial history prior to surgery (Mechanick et al., 2020). However, there is no clear guidance on how these areas should be assessed within the evaluation. These guidelines also do not provide guidance on how providers should assess family/relational contexts that may also influence the patients’ ability to modify and maintain health behaviors. This is critical information that is needed to establish consistency of the preoperative psychological evaluation process between centers to ensure equity for bariatric patients in the evaluation process between centers. This current dissertation presents the results of three studies which investigated associations between psychological evaluation pass/delay rates, demographics, current diagnoses (mental health, disordered eating, substance use), postoperative outcomes, impairment/no impairment on that piloted relational screener, and whether a patient completed the behavioral health consultation once screening as impaired. It also explored the preliminary feasibility of piloting a brief relational screener alongside the standard psychological evaluation and referral pathways. The first study provides evidence about which mental health, disordered eating, and substance use diagnoses associate with patient pass and delay rates from the bariatric surgery preoperative psychological evaluation. It also investigated reasons, recommendations, and referrals for delay and denial after the postoperative psychological evaluation. Significant associations between pass/delay rates and demographics, current mental health treatment, and having a current mental health, disordered eating, or substance use diagnosis were found. The second study sought to determine if there were differences between patients who received a pass or delay from their initial preoperative psychological evaluation and postoperative outcomes following bariatric surgery. It also sought to detect how the combination of pass/delay and select mental health diagnoses and patient demographics associate with postoperative weight- related outcomes. Significant associations between pass/delay rates with demographics and mental health, disordered eating, and substance use were found. No significant differences were found between pass/delay and postoperative complications, readmissions, and ER visits. Patients who received a delay from their initial preoperative psychological evaluation had higher weights over 12-months. The third study piloted a voluntary brief family relational screener, delivered at the same time as the standard psychological evaluation, to identify impaired family factors (i.e., family functioning, family support, relationship security, and family life events) and their associations with self-efficacy for making health behavior change and psychological evaluation pass/delay clinical decisions, and ensuing referral to a behavioral health consultation. The study interest rate was 51.1%, and the response/completion rate after determining interest was 85.1%. The majority (75.4%) of patients in the study screened as impaired on at least one assessment within the screener and were eligible for the behavioral health consultation. Forty-eight percent of patients with noted impairment) completed the behavioral health consultation. Multiple assessments within the relational screener were also significantly associated with self-efficacy scores.
