| Publisher Description: Nearly every clinician will eventually have to face a "behavioral emergency"--a situation in which a client is at risk of suicide, violence, or becoming the victim of violence. Yet few clinicians have been trained to deal with the life-or-death judgments that are required in the stress of these moments. This practical, comprehensive book is designed to help practitioners make good decisions under difficult conditions. It straightforwardly addresses such vital topics as how to assess efficiently, how to think clearly under pressure, and how to prepare effectively for emergencies. |
