New in Paper. How does the law define "reasonable care" in the
treatment of suicidal patients? What are the most clinically and
legally appropriate procedures for evaluating and managing suicide
risks? And what forms of precautionary planning and documentation are
recommended for minimizing the likelihood of malpractice actions?
Drawing upon years of clinical experience as well as extensive
malpractice claims data and relevant case law, this book outlines
effective assessment, management, and treatment procedures that
balance the need for high-quality care with the requirements of
court-determined and statutory standards. Three widely cited papers
on standards of care are accompanied by four new chapters on clinical
and legal risk management and issues surrounding pharmacotherapy.
