This book presents a hands-on, problem-oriented approach to inpatient psychiatry. It covers problems encountered by psychiatrists and clinicians working in a psychiatric hospital setting and provides helpful discussions of controversial issues with a variety of suggested solutions. Issues addressed include admitting patients, dealing with uncooperative patients and families, and providing a proper transition out of the hospital. Manual of Clinical Hospital Psychiatry is a must for the clinician needing a ready reference in a problematic situation. It is also practical for the administrator or planner initiating or redesigning a psychiatric care delivery program.
