Assessing and Managing Suicide Risk is full of information that may be useful to a busy clinician. Dr. Simon has written this book for psychiatrists doing both inpatient and outpatient work, for psychopharmacologists and psychotherapists, and for novices as well as seasoned clinicians. He approaches many different topics related to the suicide of patients, all from the vantage point of how psychiatrists should cover themselves legally.
