Recenzje

'… a comprehensive, practical, humane, well-written, and wise book. The authors present context and evidence clearly, provide extremely useful tables, and artfully illustrate their approaches with lively case examples. I strongly recommend this book to psychiatrists and emergency medicine physicians at all levels of training, including students, as well as to other clinicians who treat patients in emergency and inpatient settings, both psychiatric and general medical. It provides an invaluable, humane framework grounded in science and decency, with extremely practical recommendations; it is the best overview I have read on the topic.' Mary Anne Badaracco, The American Journal of Psychiatry
