Clinical Manual of Emergency Psychiatry, Second Edition

Emergency psychiatry is one of the most stressful and challenging areas of practice for the psychiatric clinician. This timely and comprehensive revision of Clinical Manual of Emergency Psychiatry is designed for attending physicians, residents, fellows, and medical students who staff the front lines of the psychiatric emergency department. Written collaboratively by faculty, residents, and students from leading departments of psychiatry in the United States and Canada, this volume addresses those topics generally found to be of greatest importance and usefulness in the psychiatric emergency setting. Chapters are arranged by chief complaint (as opposed to psychiatric diagnosis) and have been thoroughly revised to incorporate the most recent data as well as new areas of relevance that have emerged since the last edition. Easy to use and organized to present key information in a rapidly accessible format, this new edition of Clinical Manual of Emergency Psychiatry will equip psychiatric trainees and educators alike with the guidance they need to address complex emergent clinical situations quickly and with confidence.
