The combination of practical advice and background information with an easily accessible guide in emergencies presents a unique package essential to every doctor with an interest in psychiatry.
The Oxford Handbook of Psychiatry provides comprehensive coverage of all major psychiatric conditions and sub-specialties. It is aimed at psychiatric trainees and medical students studying psychiatry, trainees entering individual psychiatric sub-specialties, consultant psychiatrists, general practitioners, and other healthcare professionals who come into contact with psychiatric patients.
It provides detailed and practical advice on the management of psychiatric disorders, in-depth coverage of psychiatric assessment, psychopathology, evidence-based practice, mental health and capacity legislation in the British Isles, difficult and urgent situations, transcultural psychiatry, and therapeutic issues.
The new edition features a completely updated legal section with coverage of the new English mental health act, updated coverage of the Scottish mental health act, and new coverage of incapacity legislation in England, Wales, and Scotland, a completely updated section on schizophrenia, and the addition of new drugs and new clinical guidances from recognized institutions such as NICE.

There is helpful advice for the management of difficult and urgent situations, and the text is peppered with clinical observations on the practice of clinical psychiatry and guidance based upon the experience of the authors.

This book contains guidance on how to assess and manage these emergencies and how to maneuver successfully through the practical difficulties that may arise, while also avoiding medical, psychiatric, and legal pitfalls. A variety of specific emergencies and emergencies in different settings are covered, such as aggression and violence, victims of abuse, emergencies related to drug addiction, people with learning disabilities, and emergencies in old age age psychiatry and primary care.(less)
