A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'The book's strengths include a very readable style, a multi-disciplinary authorship and chapters that cover the many diverse aspects of psychiatric intensive care. When reading it you get the firm impression that most of the chapters are written by people with real 'hands on' practical experience in their fields.' Bulletin of the National Association of Psychiatric Intensive Care Units

'I strongly recommend this book. It should have wide appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience. It is soundly researched, able constructed and well written. I suspect that it will sit well in all mental health settings and on individual professional's bookshelves, and that in time it will become a well-thumbed and much appreciated text.' Mental Health Practice

'The book is packed full of extremely sensible advice on how to manage difficult clinical problems in the most challenging of patients. It has something for everyone - trainees, consultants, nurses, managers and those professions allied to medicine.' Hospital Doctor

'It is comprehensive and multi-disciplinary. It is clinically oriented and most chapters will be of interest to clinical staff working on intensive care units.' British Journal of Psychiatry

'The concise chapters make this book easy to read and the various topics are useful to any member of an impatient team. This second edition covers areas that were not captured in the first edition.' Alyson Myers, MD, Rush University Medical Centre

'I'd suggest reading this volume many times, as I did, since so much is covered so well in only 350 pages. My compliments to the authors and editors!' Journal of Clinical Psychiatry
