Emergency Psychiatry (Review of Psychiatry)

Description

The field of emergency mental health care is evolving rapidly. With the spread of AIDS and the rising popularity of recreational substances of abuse, the scope and complexity of the field have increased as well. Emergency Psychiatry provides a snapshot of the current state of the art of this fast-paced discipline.

Readers of this volume will find a survey of the major service models used in emergency psychiatry (the consultation model, the specialized psychiatric emergency service model, and newer community models); principles for assessment of psychosocial and cognitive functioning, including a discussion of assessment instruments and their appropriate use; guidelines for assessing risk of suicide or violence; standards for behavioral management of agitation and aggression, including discussion of legal and regulatory issues in emergency practice; and guidance on the application of psychotherapeutic techniques to interviewing patients in crises so as to communicate concern, elicit cooperation and essential information about the patient’s state, and foster an alliance that facilitates appropriate treatment.

Psychiatric emergencies can occur at any time and in any setting; for this reason, every mental health clinician should be familiar with the principles of crisis management and the cutting-edge issues surrounding the provision of emergency psychiatric care. Intended for psychiatrists, psychiatric and emergency medicine residents, and all mental health practitioners, this book offers an accessible guide to current practice and thought in this exciting field.
