内容説明

This handbook provides practical advice and guidance on dealing with emergency problems and dilemmas. A general model for managing psychiatric emergencies is presented in the first four chapters. This handbook covers the assessment and management of crises in various situations: the hospital ward, A & E departments, domiciliary visit, and police station. It covers all aspects from the emergency interview, diagnosis and management decision-making to managing specific problems such as suicide and violence. There are diagrams, flow charts and tables which should make reference quick and easy. This book should be of interest to trainee psychiatrists, A & E Department libraries, casualty officers, and GPs - especially those on a psychiatric attachment.
