The discipline of obstetrics and gynecology is changing rapidly. It is changing in respect of science and technology (IVF, minimally invasive surgery) and of ethics (termination, genetics, and reproductive technology). The training for the young specialist adapts to these changes. Sadly, however, the old fashioned division of mind from body continues. Words like "holistic" and "psychosomatic" are dismissed, and those responsible for training in the UK persist in refusing to accommodate psychological modules in the training process. This book attempts to address and redress this imbalance. Failure to understand the psychological aspects of a patients presentation leave the doctor feeling vulnerable and inadequate, searching for the right thing to say, avoiding that patient in future with subsequent poor care.
This book, by providing the background knowledge, empowers the obstetrician/gynecologist to be in the key coordinating role, and to communicate effectively with all parties and other health workers who may need to be involved in psychological care. This book meets the needs of doctors that are not covered by their training (e.g. a chapter on "Communication Skills. What you can do in 15 minutes", chapter on "Coping and Adjustment in Pregnancy": Giving Babies a Better Start, and chapter on "Communicating with Cancer Patients")
Chapters are written by experts in widely differing areas, and show how to use the consultation to maximum benefit for the patient and doctor. Easy-to-read with stand-alone chapters, this book covers key aspects of obstetrics and gynecology, and addresses areas that are not covered in other texts. The book is relevant to all stages of obstetric and gynecological practice - from trainees to consultants (and some lay interest).

From the reviews:
"Psychological Challenges in Obstetrics and Gynecology examines a topic that is important in everyday clinical practice but inadequately addressed by basic or specialist training. … Headings, key points and summary boxes provide structure, clinical scenarios and vignettes bring the text to life and most chapters suggest useful websites and further reading. This book is an excellent resource for any clinician wishing to further their understanding of the interaction between psychological and somatic disorders in obstetrics and gynaecology." (Khaled MK Ismail, The Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, October, 2008)

"This brief paperback is written to help obstetric/gynecology care providers be more conscious of the psychological issues faced by their patients in a variety of circumstances. … This book is written for any provider of obstetric/gynecology care … there is a strong focus on providers-in-training, both medical students and residents. … Overall, this book meets its goal of enlightening providers … to be more cognizant of the psychological impact of obstetrics/gynecology issues. … does a very good job of bringing patients’ concerns to the forefront." (Sara S Nicholas, Doody’s Review Service, November, 2008)
"Its aim is to provide ‘a practical book to help all those working in obstetrics and gynaecology to incorporate psychological aspects of care into their everyday work.’ … In general I found this book to be informative and readable. It is suitable for all healthcare professionals working in this area, not just doctors in obstetrics and gynaecology." (Annie Hawkins, Psychosexual Medicine Journal, December, 2008)
