Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics: Emotional Aspects of Pituitary Disease
Price: $56.00

The Pituitary Patients Resource Guide is the perfect reading companion and information source for the physical (physiological) aspects of pituitary disease.   In the same way, a little book called "Emotional Aspects of Pituitary Disease" (Karger, 1998) brings clarity to the questions that seem to bedevil patients, families and doctors, as well as insurance companies, human resources directors and others. What is connected to pituitary disease and what is not? How do I know about myself? Is it really true that pituitary/hormonal disease/tumors affect us first in three different ways: sexual, emotional and physiological? (Price does not include shipping.)

Editors: M.A. Weitzner, N. Sonino, R. Knutzen | Pages: 190
