Description

Now in its thoroughly updated Third Edition, this well known text gives clinicians a full understanding of the impact of law and regulation on the practice of psychiatry. The previous edition was selected for the recommended reading list for the PRITE examination, taken by every psychiatry resident in the final year of training and also received the Guttmacher Award from the American Psychiatric Association as the best book on forensic psychiatry. This edition addresses contemporary concerns regarding liability in managed care. Other cutting-edge issues discussed include recovered memory, ERISA, advance directives, third party access to records, and actionable issues in patient evaluations
