Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is a resourceful study on current problems on the interface, law and psychiatry. It is not an anthology. With particular attention to psychiatric-legal issues in civil law, the Editor, Stephen Rachlin, has gathered the opinion of a seminal group of teachers, all active in the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, who have published on current civil law-psychiatric interface, and in a series of articles, have extended and clarified current issues. Gutheil and Mills enlarge on the conflicting models of the law and on clinical practice. The need for the law to study the viewpoint of psychiatry is made obvious by the isolation of the lawyer from readily available clinical literature. The conceptual models of psychiatry and law are reviewed to provide an underpinning for the discussion of the collaborators.

Download or read book Clinical Manual of Psychiatry and Law written by Robert I. Simon and published by American Psychiatric Pub. This book was released on 2007-04-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their latest collaboration, Clinical Manual of Psychiatry and Law, noted forensic psychiatrist Dr. Robert Simon and legal scholar Daniel Shuman, both recipients of the Guttmacher Award, have created a unique, practical reference to enable psychiatrists to transform the impact of the law on their clinical practices from an adversary to a working partner. In lieu of scare tactics or horror stories, Dr. Simon and Professor Shuman clearly explain not only what the law requires and why but how best to integrate its requirements to enhance clinical practice and reduce the risk of successful tort claims. They have written a clear, comprehensible, and accessible volume that will guide practitioners through the thickets of the law and benefit their clinical practices. This volume covers a wide range of topics, from confidentiality, privilege, informed consent and the right to refuse treatment to treatment boundaries, involuntary hospitalization, seclusion and restraint, management of violent as well as suicidal patients, and the additional requirements which apply to the treatment and evaluation of minors or persons with mental disabilities. It also includes the tort (i.e., negligence, intentional harm) claims that arise from a breach of the law's expectations. The content reflects the latest legal precedents concerning such topics as: Establishment of the doctor-patient relationship and liability for damages caused by its breach, including new rulings governing confidentiality and testimonial privileges Case law regarding informed consent -- especially the issue of competency when dealing with minors or persons with mental disabilities New rules and regulations restricting the use of seclusion and restraint Guides to the most recent laws regarding involuntary hospitalization and emergency commitment Insights into recent state court decisions concerning disclosures by therapists of threats of harm by patients against others, including such issues as conflicts between the duty to maintain confidentiality and the duty to protect Reviews of recent legislation proscribing sexual misconduct or prosecuting sexual exploitation of patients under existing rape or sexual assault laws Clinicians will find this wealth of knowledge immediately practical and lawyers will appreciate its in-depth treatment of complex psychiatric issues. With extensive references and a glossary of legal terms, Clinical Manual of Psychiatry and Law deserves a place among the top legal references for mental health professionals.

Download or read book Treatment Without Consent written by Phil Fennell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-11 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phil Fennell's tightly argued study traces the history of treatment of mental disorder in Britain over the last 150 years. He focuses specifically on treatment of mental disorder without consent within psychiatric practice, and on the legal position which has allowed it. Treatment Without Consent examines many controversial areas: the use of high-strength drugs and Electro Convulsive Therapy, physical restraint and the vexed issue of the sterilisation of people with learning disabilities. Changing notions of consent are discussed, from the common perception that relatives are able to consent on behalf of the patient, to present-day statutory and common law rules, and recent Law Commission recommendations. This work brings a complex and intriguing area to life; it includes a table of legal sources and an extensive bibliography. It is essential reading for historians, lawyers and all those who are interested in the treatment of mental disorder.

Download or read book Law in the Practice of Psychiatry written by Seymour L. Halleck and published by Springer. This book was released on 1980-07-31 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once upon a time only forensic psychiatrists had much to do with law and the legal system. Now, hardly a day passes in the life of a clinician without some significant encounter with the interface between the law and the practice of psychiatry. That interface extends all the way from the general regulation of clinical practice to the specifics of clinical man agement of individual patients. It includes, like the chapters of this book, such important topics as informed consent, right to treatment, privilege and confidentiality, patients' rights, competency, psychiatric testimony, malpractice, and liability. Dr. Halleck is one of the professions' most distinguished thinkers and authors in the field of psychiatry and law, and is this year's recipient of the coveted Isaac Ray Award of the American Psychiatric Association. Having spent his entire academic and professional life deeply involved in the clinical practice of psychiatry, he is particularly well suited to understand and respond to the clinician's need for a clear and concise elucidation of those areas of psychiatry and law which are involved in the daily work of psychiatrists and all mental health professionals.

Download or read book Violence And Suicidality : Perspectives In Clinical And Psychobiological Research written by Herman M. Van Praag and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-22 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1990. This monograph series, published under the auspices of the Department of Psychiatry of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine/Montefiore Medical Center, is meant to keep track of important developments in the profession pf psychiatry, to summarize what has been achieved in particular fields, and to bring together the viewpoints obtained from disparate vantage points-in short, to capture some of the excitement ongoing in modern psychiatry, both in its clinical and experimental dimensions. Violence and suicidality have always been major public health issues, but it is only fairly recently that they have become the focus of some major clinical and biological research efforts. This is due partly to a large increase in suicide and homicide rates in the young and partly to a realization that effective management of psychiatric patients cannot be based on categorical diagnosis alone, but requires an understanding of the patient's entire behavioral profile. This volume attempts to describe some of the most important advances in the psychobiological understanding of the behavioral dimensions of suicide and violence that have been made over the last 10 years. It is comprised of papers presented at two symposia held under the auspices of the department of psychiatry of Albert Einstein College of Medicine that were devoted to the topics of violence and suicide.

Download or read book Concise Guide to Psychiatry and Law for Clinicians written by Robert I. Simon and published by American Psychiatric Publishing. This book was released on 2001 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Psychiatrists are feeling the chilling effects of increased malpractice liability. Today's changing health care marketplace-exacerbated by the escalating conflict between patient advocacy and cost-cutting policies inherent in managed care-leaves psychiatrists more vulnerable to lawsuits while also undermining their relationships with their patients. This third edition of the "Concise Guide to Psychiatry and Law for Clinicians" equips psychiatrists, psychiatric residents, and other mental health care professionals with a thorough overview of the clinical management of legal issues in psychiatry. Its author, a recognized forensic educator and practicing psychiatrist, encourages psychiatrists to transform the law from adversary to working partner-a partnership that can be turned to clinical account for the benefit of patients. Beginning with an overview of clinical psychiatry and the law, this pocket guide covers every essential aspect of how law affects the practice of psychiatry today: the doctor-patient relationship, confidentiality and testimonial privilege, informed consent and the right to refuse treatment, psychiatric treatment, seclusion and restraint, involuntary hospitalization, the suicidal patient, the potentially violent patient, and therapist-patient sex. Clinicians will find this wealth of knowledge immediately practical and reassuring, psychiatric residents will find it invaluable as preparation for the real world, and lawyers will appreciate its in-depth treatment of complex psychiatric issues. With its glossary of legal terms, case studies, and detailed charts, this clear, authoritative guide reminds us afresh why it deserves its place among the top legalreferences for mental health professionals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental health professionals, more than any other clinicians, encounter legal issues on a regular basis. This is a book for anyone in the field, at any stage in their training or practice, who has ever found themselves scratching their head in confusion or dreading that they will expose themselves to liability as they navigate the complexities at the interface of law and mental health. Written by established experts and the rising stars of the next generation, the 16 chapters in this book offer readers a basic understanding of legal principles encountered in clinical practice, as well as practical advice on how to manage situations at the interface of law and clinical practice. Using case examples and clear language, this book helps clinicians understand the underlying principles behind the legal requirements of clinical care. It aims to enhance the reader's knowledge of legal issues and ability to deliver good clinical care when those issues are encountered. This book is unique in that it is, first and foremost, for mental health clinicians in training and those already in practice. While it is not a textbook for lawyers or forensic clinicians, forensic specialists and other professionals who encounter mental health issues in their work, such as law enforcement professionals, will benefit from its practical and clear discussion of legal and mental health issues.
