Description

"Section II presents a comprehensive analysis of involuntary civil commitment. This section is essential reading for psychiatrists who have responsibility for the care of patients, either directly or indirectly. Section III provides the psychiatrist with a valuable literature review and a clinically based discussion of the assessment and management of the violent patient. Specific methods for assessment of the risk of violence are presented. Section IV tackles an area of ever-increasing concern and complexity for psychiatrists: the psychiatrist's relationship with nonmedical professionals."--(www.appi.org)
