The ISSP Manual of Sports Psychiatry

Review

"Every sports psychiatrist should have this book by their side. It has everything you would want to know about working with athletes and their teams, psychiatrically and psychologically, to increase their mental health, performance as well as enjoyment of the sport"Bruce Silverglade, owner of Gleason’s gym in Brooklyn, NYCHonestly, virtually everything. The core enterprise is well-conceived, the authorship is top-notch and the proposed book has the potential to function both as a reference text and a straightforward “good read.” It also, in its choice of sports, avoids the pitfall of being seen as overly USA-centered. Dr. Paul Miller University of Cumbria, UKI believe there is a need for this book. There are limited books of sport psychiatry and a manual of sport psychiatry organized in a sport-by-sport format will be timely and helpful for many audiences, particularly those who are interested in psychiatric problems and interventions in a specific sport.
