Acute Psychiatric Emergencies: A Practical Approach

Advanced Life Support Group (Alsg)

An essential guide to the emergency treatment of mental health crises

Hospital emergency departments are encountering increasing numbers of patients in mental health crises and the number continues to rise year on year. Despite these challenges, very few practitioners are trained specifically to deal with mental health crises.

Acute Psychiatric Emergencies (APEx) meets this need with a course designed jointly by leading psychiatry and emergency medicine specialists with years of practical experience. It provides a structured approach for the assessment and management of acute mental health emergencies, discusses common presentations, as well as legal frameworks and human factors. Now fully updated to reflect new guidelines and expanded treatment of key subjects, it is an invaluable resource for any practitioner involved in the provision of psychiatric care at any point in the healthcare pathway.

Readers of the second edition of Acute Psychiatric Emergencies will also find:

  • Detailed discussion of topics including organic causes for behavioural disturbances, special circumstances and more
  • Updated algorithms and figures for improved accessibility
  • An emphasis on close cooperation between emergency and mental health teams

Acute Psychiatric Emergencies is ideal for emergency physicians, psychiatrists, emergency and mental health nurses, paramedics and other crisis care professionals.
