    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book comprehensively educates psychiatrists about malpractice and other liability. It is written to also specifically assist psychiatrists who are sued or are involved in other complaints. The first two sections discuss malpractice law and the litigation process; the litigation section mainly addresses some of the more emotionally charged issues, including do’s and don’ts, how an attorney will be looking at the case, the defendant doctor’s testifying at deposition and trial, and the stress of being sued. The subsequent three sections address specific topics that give rise to liability, with each section taking a different perspective such as risks in particular clinical, by practice site, and special issues, including practice in special situations such as the current pandemic. The final section discusses other forms of liability, such as complaints to medical boards or professional association ethics committees. An exceptional work, Malpractice and Liability in Psychiatry, functions as both a go-to handbook and all-encompassing read on the aforementioned topics.Table of ContentsSection I: Malpractice Law.- Principles of Malpractice Law in Psychiatry.- History of Malpractice.- Liability of the Acts of Others.- Professional Liability Insurance.- Section II: Litigation.- Risk Management after an Adverse Event.- The Litigation Process.- Do's and Dont's if You Are Sued.- The Plaintiff Attorney's Perspective.- The Defense Attorney's Perspective.- Expert Witness.- The Defendant Psychiatrist as Witness.- The Stress of Being Sued.- Section III: Malpractice Allegations.- Suicide.- Patient Violence.- Boundary Violations.- Breach of Confidentiality.- Negligent Psychopharmacology.- Abandonment and Unnecessary Commitment.- Negligent Psychotherapy.- Section VI: Practice Areas.- Inpatient General Psychiatry.- Outpatient General Psychiatry.- Child and Adolescent Psychiatry.- Consult Liaison Psychiatry.- Emergency Room Psychiatry.- Reproductive Psychiatry.- Addition Psychiatry.- Geriatric Psychiatry.- Correctional Psychiatry.- Forensic Psychiatry.- Psychiatric Research.- Section V: Special Topics.- Telepsychiatry.- Malpractice and the Internet.- Patients and Guns.- Practicing During a Pandemic or Disaster.- Section VI: Complaints.- Medical Board Complaints.- Ethics Complaints.- Granting Agencies.- Negative Reviews on the Internet.- Impaired Psychiatrists.

  • Medical Futility in Paediatrics:

    Trivent Publishing Medical Futility in Paediatrics:

    Book SynopsisThis book addresses the issues and challenges raised by the high-profile cases of Charlie Gard and Alfie Evans. The individual chapters, which complement one other, were written by scholars with expertise in Law, Medicine, Medical Ethics, Theology, Health Policy and Management, English Literature, Nursing and History, from the UK, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Spain, Turkey and the USA.The following are among the key questions explored in the book. Is the courtroom an appropriate forum for resolving conflicts relating to medical futility in paediatrics? If so, should parental rights be protected by confining judicial powers only to cases where there is a risk of significant harm to the infant; or should the "best interests" test continue to be recognised as the "gold standard" for paediatric cases? If not, should mediation be used instead, but how well would this alternative method of dispute resolution work for medical futility conflicts? Further, should social media be deployed to garner support, and should outsiders who are not fully acquainted with the medical facts refrain from intervening? And, how are comparable situations likely to be managed in different countries? What lessons can be learned from them as well as from religious perspectives?Table of Contents Foreword by Michael Redfern QC Preface by Kartina Aisha Choong Notes on Contributors INTRODUCTION.

    Book SynopsisOriginally published in Spanish in 2017 by Libreria Bosch, Barcelona, the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology is a one-of-kind book made available in English for the first time. This unique work is highly illustrated with full-color images, providing a medico-legal examination of forensic pathology as it relates to cases of forensic psychological interest. The book begins with a historical perspective and includes images of patients to familiarize the reader with symptoms, the hazard-risk criteria, lethality, and suicidal rescueâresearch that Dr. Tiffon has addressed in his previous publications. Chapters present photographic records of cases to deepen forensic, psychologist, and medico-legal professionalsâ insight into thoughts, behaviors, and mechanisms of self- and hetero-aggressiveness. Such cases illustrate the outcomes of various disorders manifested in individuals and victims; as such, they provide an understanding of the psychological-legal conclusions reached in such cases in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures for specific situations. Coverage includes affective, schizophrenic, and personality disorders as contributing elements in diagnostic judgments, noting the great difficulty such examples present to experts performing psychopathological evaluations after criminal, and often violent, events have occurred. Various psychopathological disorders are addressed as well as the technical treatment that should occur in each case from a psychological-forensic perspective.Features:â Presents a provocative look at various syndromes familiar to forensic psychologists, as applied to criminal cases and the pathology of suicide victims and homicide perpetrators â Combines the work of world-renowned expert contributors to examine the criminal, legal, and psychological facets of various diagnoses and case examples â Offers insight into the psychological state of suicide victims, considering their state of mind as a psychological autopsyIn his previous books published in Spanish, Manual of Consulting in Psychology and Clinical, Legal, Legal, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2008), Manual of Professional Performance in Clinical, Criminal, and Forensic Psychopathology (2009), and the 4-volume Practical Criminological Atlas of Forensic Psychometry (2019-2020), Tiffon approached forensic psychology and psychopathology from a theoretical perspective. In the Atlas of Forensic and Criminal Psychology, his first book translated into English, Tiffon expands on these prior works, serving to provide a visual reference and guide to medical pathologists and consulting psychologists in cases of disorders in which psychopathological mutilation, injury, and self-injury occur.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisClinical research ethics consultation has emerged in the last 15 years as a service to those involved in the conduct of clinical research who face challenging issues for which more than one course of action may be justified. To respond to a growing field and need for opportunities to share knowledge and experience, the Clinical Research Ethics Consultation Collaborative, established in 2014, holds monthly webinars for its 90 members to present their most challenging cases to each other and engage in substantive discussion. Every year, the group selects the four most interesting cases with accompanying commentaries for publication in the American Journal of Bioethics. This timely book brings together these cases and commentaries under a range of common themes for the first time, creating a permanent collection in book format that encourages and supports readers to gain a better understanding of the ethical challenges that they may face, and providing them with a conveniTable of ContentsForewordIntroduction A Framework for Research Ethics.

    Book SynopsisOver the last two-plus decades, the scientific validity of the principles that underpin identifying a firearm from recovered fired ammunition has been a core issue for the admissibility of expert evidence in criminal trials in the United States. The issues that dominated the determinative points, as they related to the scientific and technological analysis, centered around the following: the validity of uniqueness of firearms, subjective methodology, the potential rate of error, unknown statistical certainty and unsatisfactory proficiency tests. These issues have essentially become the legal requirement for admissibility of experts' opinion on the linkage of firearms with fired ammunition, an important forensic opinion that connects the crime with the perpetrator through the weapon of offence.In Forensic Firearms in Criminal Trials: Legal, Investigative, and Scientific Aspects, internationally renowned forensic firearm expert Dr J. K. Sinha provides demonstrativ
