Reviews

This is a helpful new and comprehensive book on hospital psychiatry. Clinicians, hospital administrators, and lawmakers, as well as all stakeholders, should be knowledgeable (as this book will help them to become) about the history and future role of the hospital in the care of patients suffering from psychiatric disorders. I highly recommend it. Doody Enterprises, Inc.
