Dr Simon R. Knowles is a Senior Lecturer and Clinical Psychologist based at Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne. His clinical and research interests relate to the biological and psychological interactions of GI conditions and the brain-gut axis. Dr Knowles has published over 90 articles/book chapters and developed several free online psychological resilience programs for GI conditions.
Dr Laurie Keefer is a GI Psychologist and Associate Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine in NYC. She studies resilience, self-efficacy and optimism in the management of complex GI conditions. She has published over 100 papers and serves on the Board of Directors for the Rome Foundation.
Dr Antonina A. Mikocka-Walus is a GI Psychologist and Associate Professor in Health Psychology at Deakin University, Melbourne. She has published over 100 research papers/book chapters. Her interdisciplinary research has contributed to the recent guidelines on the management of inflammatory bowel disease in Australia, North America and Europe.
"The brain-gut axis is one of the most important clinical advances
within the field of gastroenterology. This understanding involves
more than just knowledge of the GI tract. Drs. Knowles, Keefer and
Mikocka-Walus are the thought leaders who have developed the
burgeoning field of Psychogastroenterology and their qualifications
to communicate this growing body of knowledge is well demonstrated
in this highly informative and innovative book. I highly recommend
Psychogastroenterology as a resource to behavioural scientists,
clinicians and physicians working in the field of GI disorders."-

disorders are extremely common affecting up to one in three people
globally. Frequently these chronic gut disorders are accompanied by
anxiety or depression, and they are often highly morbid impacting
quality of life, relationships, work and sleep. Mental health
professionals play a very important role in management but in my
experience many clinicians struggle to identify a local mental
health professional to refer to, because relatively few have
specifically trained in or have a special interest in the field
despite the high disease burden. This outstanding handbook, edited
by three leading experts in the field, is therefore very timely,
and provides an excellent and practical users guide for not only
mental health professionals but also others who deliver health care
to patients with gut disorders including specialists and general
practitioners." - Laureate Professor Nicholas J. Talley, AC, MBBS

or otherwise, knows from personal experience that there is a link
between what is going in their head and the state of their
gastrointestinal system. Consequently, it is extraordinary that the
potential for this link to be a therapeutic target has been largely
ignored until relatively recently. Furthermore, when a modality
such as hypnotherapy is deployed against this link, it is often
dismissed as quackery or some form of placebo effect. The care of
patients with gastrointestinal disorders requires a team effort
from clinicians, dieticians, physiologists and preferably
psychologists. However, psychologists with a training in
gastroenterology are in short supply but hopefully this should
change with the advent of a speciality called
psychogastroenterology. This book will provide those individuals
wanting to go into this exciting area with a first-class grounding
on the subject with the bonus of also giving them an insight into
the structure of the gastrointestinal system as well as how it
works. Consequently, this book is essential reading for anybody

physicians find patients with gastrointestinal disorders to be

importance of the brain-gut axis in gastrointestinal disease and
