Book Synopsis Emergency Department Treatment of the Psychiatric Patient by : Susan Stefan
Book excerpt: "In Emergency Department Treatment of the Psychiatric Patient Dr. Stefan uses research, surveys, and statutory and litigation materials to examine problems with emergency department care for clients with psychiatric disorders." "She relies on interviews with emergency department nurses, doctors, and psychiatrists, as well as surveys of people with psychiatric disabilities, to present the perspectives of both the individuals seeking treatment, and those providing it." "This eye-opening book explores the structural pressures on emergency departments and identifies the burdens and conflicts that undermine their efforts to provide compassionate care to people in psychiatric crisis." --Book Jacket.
