The second edition of Clinical Manual of Emergency Psychiatry is
designed to help medical students, residents, and clinical faculty
chart an appropriate course of treatment in a setting where an
incorrect assessment can have life-or-death implications. Arranged
by chief complaint rather than by psychiatric diagnosis, each
chapter combines the fresh insights of an accomplished psychiatry
trainee with the more seasoned viewpoint of a senior practitioner
in the field, providing a richly integrated perspective on the
challenges and rewards of caring for patients in the psychiatric
emergency department. This newly revised edition presents current
approaches to evaluation, treatment, and management of patients in
crisis, including up-to-date guidelines on use of pharmacotherapy
in the emergency setting; suicide risk assessment; evaluation of
patients with abnormal mood, psychosis, acute anxiety, agitation,
cognitive impairment, and/or substance-related emergencies; and
care of children and adolescents. The editors have created an
accessible text with many useful features: * A chapter devoted to
effective strategies for teaching, mentoring, and supervision of
trainees in the psychiatry emergency service.* Chapters focused on
assessment of risk for violence in patients, determination of the
need for seclusion or restraint, and navigation of the legal and
ethical issues that arise in the emergency setting.* Clinical
vignettes that contextualize the information provided, allowing
readers to envision applicable clinical scenarios and thereby
internalize important concepts more quickly* Constructive
"take-home" points at the end of each chapter that summarize key
information and caution against common clinical errors.* References
and suggested readings to help readers pursue a deeper
understanding of concepts and repair any gaps in knowledge.
Emergency psychiatry is one of the most stressful and challenging
areas of practice for the psychiatric clinician. The guidelines and
strategies outlined in Clinical Manual of Emergency Psychiatry,
Second Edition, will help psychiatric trainees and educators alike
to make sense of the complex clinical situations they encounter and
guide them to advance their skills as clinicians and educators.
