Robert I. Simon, M.D., a preeminent psychiatrist and prolific author on the subject of law and psychiatry, offers a pragmatic and empathic guide for clinicians grappling with that most critical of questions: How can I protect my patients from themselves? Though even the most conscientious psychiatrist cannot prevent every suicide, suicide risk can be assessed, managed, and reduced. Dr. Simon acknowledges that the professional environment in which clinicians now practice is often inhospitable to the time-consuming task of understanding the patient; yet Know thy patient is his theme and imperative. Readers will benefit from the instructive case examples and commentary. Suicide risk assessment is a core competency that draws on both art and science. In Preventing Patient Suicide: Clinical Assessment and Management, Dr. Simon synthesizes his clinical experience, the shared clinical experiences of colleagues, and the evidence-based psychiatric literature to create an insightful guide which should be an essential component in any practicing psychiatrist s library.

Review:
"This book is an excellent source of information, not only for those new to seeing patients in mental healthcare settings, but also for veteran clinicians. Chapters are relatively brief, but contain volumes of evidence-based data meant to improve a clinician's knowledge, with the added benefit of improving patient safety. The chapter regarding suicide risk assessment forms is vital, and the chapters outlining a complete suicide risk assessment (i.e. including assessing positive factors against suicide risk) are very well done. Overall, this is an outstanding book typical of Dr. Simon's efforts."-- "Steven T. Herron, M.D., DOODY'S PUBLISHERS' CLUB", "March 2011"
"Simon wades through the wealth of research on risk and protective factors with impressive agility, providing a heuristic checklist of individual, clinical, situational, interpersonal, and demographic factors to assess. More than this, he highlights the central importance of the therapeutic relationship as an agent of risk management and adaptive change."-- "Joseph J. Guido, PsycCRITIQUES", "February 2011"
