Dr. Monika Singh
ROLE
OF CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
'Perhaps in no other field of
medicine is the careful psychological evaluation and handling
of the patient more important than in plastic surgery'.
Disfigurement especially of the face
or dysfunction of a body part can lead to severe psychological
repercussions such as lowered self-esteem and altered social image.
Depression, anxiety states and phobias or panic conditions may
creep in. Such conditions may lead an affected individual to withdraw
from the society. Not only his ailment bothers him but he also
may have to face the wrath of neglect and despair from rejection
by some non-cooperating individuals in our society. Such are the
phases when plastic surgery seeking patients need the help and
support of able clinical psychologist.
Proper rehabilitation and return
to the active social mainstream of these patients is our sincere
endeavor. The services of our clinical psychologist help us in
achieving this goal.
