The ISSP Manual of Sports Psychiatry is the first text describing the role of a sports psychiatrist. Covering both individual as well as team sports, contact and non-contact, from childhood through late adulthood, the manual describes the role of sports in our culture and details the psychiatric interventions associated with players and their teams. The editors take a broad focus, covering topics from neuroscience-psychiatric and psychological aspects, performance enhancement, team chemistry and dynamics, organizational issues to working with medical, orthopedic/surgical and neurologic colleagues to provide comprehensive prevention and treatment to enhance well-being and performance. This text will be invaluable to medical and psychiatric physicians, psychologists and other mental health professionals, as well as athletes, trainers, leagues and their commissioners, sports writers-and even "fans" anxious to understand what is going on with their teams.

Industry Reviews

"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, NYC

Honestly, 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, UK

I 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. Dr. Mariya Yukhymenko, California State University Fresno
