Textbook of Violence Assessment and Management
- Share to:
The assessment and management of violent ideations and behaviors is a core competency that clinicians must possess or acquire. It is the rare clinician who does not assess and treat patients at risk for violence. Accordingly, this book leads off with “Assessment Principles.” In this important first section, Drs. Tardiff and Monahan present tutorials on the clinical and actuarial risk assessment of violence. Drs. Lim and Bell underscore the importance of clinicians’ competence in evaluating individuals for violence who are from different cultures and racial groups. Dr. Rosenfeld and Ms. Pivovarova provide a much-needed review of adjunctive psychological testing in violence risk assessment. The textbook’s 28 chapters address the diversity of clinical settings and situations where psychiatrists and other mental health professionals evaluate, treat, and manage people with violent ideations and behaviors. The different sections of the book address assessment principles, mental disorders and conditions, treatment settings, treatment and management, special populations, and various special topics. Chapter authors combine evidence-based medicine with expert opinion. The chapters include clinical case examples that are integrated into an in-depth discussion. Each chapter ends with a list of key points that underscore the main learning objectives.
