How does the law define "reasonable care" in the treatment of
suicidal patients? What are the most clinically and legally
appropriate procedures for evaluating and managing suicide risks?
And what forms of precautionary planning and documentation are
recommended for minimizing the likelihood of malpractice actions?
Drawing upon years of clinical experience as well as extensive
malpractice claims data and relevant case law, this book outlines
effective assessment, management, and treatment procedures that
balance the need for high-quality care with the requirements of
court-determined and statutory standards. Three widely cited papers
on standards of care are accompanied by four new chapters on
clinical and legal risk management and issues surrounding
pharmacotherapy. Offering frank, balanced coverage of an extremely
challenging clinical situation, Risk Management with Suicidal
Patients helps psychologists, psychiatrists, and other
practitioners develop their own clinically and legally informed
strategies for providing the best possible care. It is also an
invaluable resource for legal professionals, and may serve as a
text in psychology and psychiatry ethics courses and courses on
mental health law.
