About this title

Synopsis

This handbook is a practical, quick-reference guide to the evaluation and management of acute psychiatric symptoms seen in emergency departments and inpatient psychiatric and medical-surgical units. The book presents a step-by-step approach to each symptom, beginning with a list of questions necessary for initial assessment and proceeding to psychopharmacologic interventions, DSM-IV-TR criteria, differential diagnosis, and disposition guidelines. Additional chapters address safety concerns, the mental status examination, use of restraints and seclusion, child and elder abuse, and special needs of children, adolescents, geriatric patients, mentally retarded individuals, and patients with HIV. A chapter on legal and forensic issues is also included.

Review

Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, Volume 3, Issue 66 -- "Nowhere is a handbook wanted more than in the emergency department, where mental health professionals must make quick judgments. The author correctly advocates a practical, problem-oriented approach and has set out to give his readers the tools they need to do their work, and he succeeds. The Handbook has something to offer on every topic relevant to emergency psychiatry. Dr. Petit's recommendations are wherever possible evidence based. The book has a logical structure, which makes it relatively easy to use. This book will be a boon when you confront unexpected urgent situation. It should help you give your patients what they need in an emergency." -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
