This pocket-sized guide organizes a range of information into a quick-reference format. Numerous tables and a glossary of legal terms summarize essential information. This edition has been updated to include many of the changes in legal issues. This edition is kept brief with ten chapters but covers subjects relevant to psychiatrists: clinical psychiatry and the law; the doctor-patient relationship; confidentiality; informed consent; psychiatric treatment; seclusion and restraint; involuntary hospitalization; suicidal patients; potentially violent patients; and sexual misconduct.
