SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Textbook reflecting a wide range of clinical and forensic experience. The authors provide informative cases accompanied by analysis that integrates clinical findings with textual discussion, along with chapter-end "key points," in order to help practitioners. In addition to addressing the many facets of patient care -- including cautioning against a suicide risk factor created by limitations of benefits in managed-care situations -- the book also discusses clinician care: how practitioners can cope with the anxiety and fatigue arising from treating suicidal patients, the professional's role following a patient's suicide, legal issues involving standard of care and liability, and risk management guidelines for avoiding malpractice litigation.
