Textbook of Hospital Psychiatry

"As the first comprehensive guide to be published in more than a decade, the Textbook of Hospital Psychiatry is a compilation of the latest trends, issues, and developments in the field of hospital psychiatry. The textbook, written by 70 national experts and clinical specialists, covers a wide range of clinical and administrative topics that are central to psychiatric practice today." "The book contains information not generally available in other textbooks and medical journals. Its 35 chapters are divided into four sections that address a variety of cutting-edge issues, such as treatment in specialty psychiatric units, consumers' perspectives, safety improvement, use of seclusion and restraint, and provision of culturally competent psychiatric care." "An invaluable resource for both clinicians and administrators, as well as a comprehensive teaching tool for residents, the Textbook of Hospital Psychiatry is a must-have for all professionals who work in psychiatric settings."--BOOK JACKET.
