BOOK



Emergency physicians, in all practice settings, care for patients

with both undifferentiated psycho-behavioral presentations and

established psychiatric illness. This reference-based text goes

beyond diagnostics, providing practical input from physicians

experienced with adult emergency psychiatric patients. Physicians

will increase their understanding and gain confidence working

with these patients, even when specialized psychiatric back-up is

lacking. Behavioral Emergencies for the Emergency Physician is

comprehensive, covering the pre-hospital setting and advising on

evidence-based practice; from collaborating with psychiatric

colleagues to establishing a psychiatric service in your ED

Sedation, restraint and seclusion are outlined. Potential

dilemmas when treating pregnant, geriatric or homeless patients

with mental illness are discussed in detail, along with the more

challenging behavioral diagnoses such as malingering, factitious

and personality disorders. This go-to, comprehensive volume is

invaluable for trainee and experienced emergency physicians, as

well as psychiatrists, psychologists, psychiatric and emergency

department nurses and other mental health workers
