'A fascinating, accessible and much needed guide to this important
and emerging sub-speciality. This book feels fresh, relevant and
gives an in-depth understanding while providing the reader with the
tools they need to really get to grips with the subject. This book
is a trailblazer, and destined to become a definitive classic in
the area. I hate sport and even I loved this book.' Dr Max
Pemberton, Psychiatrist and Daily Mail Columnist
'An informative, enlightening and attention grabbing read in an
emerging field where the evidence base is developing fast. The use
of real-life scenarios developed from the lived experience of
athletes brings the subject alive is educationally stimulating. We
like to think that athletes are superhuman but they struggle and
become ill like the rest of us. Fortunately effective,
evidence-based treatments are available. The editors and
contributors are at the forefront of this endeavour and have
thankfully shared their knowledge and expertise in this book. The
causes and presentation of mental illness in athletes brings unique
challenges and treatments are often constrained by the complex
environments inhabited by elite sports people. The reader is taken
on a journey accompanied by the athlete and clinician and is led
through examples of how mental illness presents and invited by
means of probing questions to engage in the exploration of care and
treatment. I thoroughly recommend this book to all those engaged
with the mental health of athletes but to psychiatrists generally
and to all those interested in sports science.' Dr Adrian James,
President, Royal College of Psychiatrists
'Case Studies in Sports Psychiatry has several unique features that
make it an invaluable resource for those interested in the rapidly
evolving field of athlete mental health. The comprehensive yet
concise case studies provide practical insight into the
presentation, assessment and management of common mental health
problems across a variety of high-profile sports. Readers benefit
from authorship by expert practitioners working at the athlete
health front-line, with the detailed answers to the questions
tabled at the end of each chapter demonstrating that effective
mental health support requires an inter-disciplinary approach -
making this a book for everyone involved in athlete care.' Dr Craig
Ranson, Director of Athlete, English Institute of Sport
'Case Studies in Sports Psychiatry is a must read for those who
care for the mental health of elite athletes. The authors make a
substantial thought provoking contribution to the science of how
psychiatric support can be provided to athletes who experience
mental illness. Authors achieve this through comprehensive case
reviews of athletes from various sports, levels of performance,
ages, and genders. This book is the first of its kind with a focus
on mental illness, and I have no doubt it will make an excellent
contribution to psychiatry training, as well as trigger interest
from colleagues in sports medicine, sport and exercise psychology,
sport science and coaching. The book contributes to increasing
knowledge of the dangers of mental health stigma in sport culture
and will inevitably contribute to training sport psychiatrists,
that in turn will improve the lives of our elite sports people.' Dr
Gavin Breslin, Senior Lecturer in Sport and Exercise Psychology,
School of Psychology, Ulster University, Northern Ireland and Chief
Assessor for The Qualification in Sport and Exercise Psychology,
British Psychological Society
