Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry 1st Edition (2015) (PDF) by Robert Trestman

Description

Correctional psychiatry has received increasing recognition as an area of practice with unique skills and knowledge. The Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry brings together American and international experts to provide a comprehensive overview of the field. Students and psychiatric residents will find basic information that prepares them for clinical rotations, and psychiatrists working in jails and prisons will find a detailed review of the complex issues that arise in these settings.

The Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry contains 73 chapters divided into 14 sections. The first three sections address history, structure, and processes including chapters on case law, human rights, ethics, organization and funding of systems, and stages of patient management that cover initial assessments through re-entry. The next three sections review in turn a broad array of management issues, emergencies, and psychopharmacology topics. Among other topics, these sections include chapters on sleep, detoxification, reassessment of community diagnoses and treatments, diversion programs, levels of care, malingering, substance use within facilities, and formulary management. Section seven has chapters on common psychiatric disorders, relevant medical disorders, and pain management. Sections eight through ten focus on psychotherapeutic options, suicide risk management, and addictions treatment. Chapters on aggression, self-injury, and other behavioral challenges appear in Section eleven. Section twelve reviews unique assessment and treatment needs of many distinct population groups. Special topics such as forensics, psychological testing, sexual assaults, quality improvement, training, and research, appear in Section thirteen, followed by a section devoted to current resources in correctional healthcare.

“At last, a truly comprehensive textbook on correctional psychiatry! Edited by well-known leaders in correctional psychiatry, the Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry, addresses all aspects of correctional psychiatry, including little discussed, but critical and useful topics. Each chapter is concise, cogent, clearly written, and therefore remarkably easy, pleasureful to read. As a comprehensive text of the numerous mental health challenges as well as the structures, procedures, cultures and dynamics within correctional systems, the Oxford Textbook belongs in the professional library of every correctional clinician and administrator as well as every mental health, correctional health and forensic reference library.” –Alan R. Felthous, Professor and Director of Forensic Psychiatry at Saint Louis University School of Medicine

I’m new to Correctional Psychiatry as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner. Neither my graduate nor my undergraduate programs included any information on working in this field. This book bridges the gap for me, providing both historical context and current evidence-based practice and real-world knowledge.
