Nursing people with psychosomatic illness.
Nursing and medical staff can feel frustrated in their attempts to help patients with problems of a psychosomatic nature. Lack of success can also compound the patient's problems, making the prospect of effective treatment even less likely. The author considers the assessment of such patients in hospital, and looks at short and long term nursing interventions as well as the therapeutic goals that can be appropriate.
