Description

Presents a thorough examination of the clinical practices that best serve patients and that also protect clinicians from malpractice claims. It uses numerous case examples and extensive references to peer-reviewed literature on suicide and actual malpractice cases triggered by patient suicides to present the key concepts involved in coping with the risks associated with suicidal patients. Each chapter concludes with clearly defined risk management guidelines. Rich in advice that draws on the author's more than 40 years of clinical experience, this book serves as an essential aid to clinicians.
