About this title

About the Author:

Joseph J. Zealberg, M.D., is on the faculty of the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston.

Review:

This very readable, practical book presents an excellent outline of emergency behavioral health services....[T]his book brings order and optimism where there so often can be chaos. Front-line staff need training and support. Administrative organization must be logical and accessible. The services should have a sense of overall mission as well as day-to-day goals to focus the work. Drs. Zealberg and Santos have faced these challenges and given us a guidebook that can be useful to those in training, in practice, and in management. -- Psychiatric Services, Donna M. Moores, M.D., July 1998, 49/7
