Oxford Casebook of Forensic Psychiatry (Original PDF from Publisher)
By Prof. Nigel Eastman , Drs. Simone Fox , Richard Latham, Gwen Adshead and Seán Whyte .
This new casebook , which was created as a companion to the Forensic Psychiatry (Oxford Specialist Handbook) , Second Edition , complements the areas of theory and practice presented in the handbook .
It also functions as a stand-alone book for those who want to improve their decision-making in situations they may encounter in their field . The casebook’s three sections allow the practitioner to consider the ethical and legal implications of actual clinical cases in addition to the technical medical aspects .
Part A introduces decision-making theory and practice ;
Part B covers cases from the clinical , legal and ethical realms ; and Part C provides frameworks for decision-critique . The opportunity to put knowledge into practice is improved by this tenaciously discursive approach to a fact-based but also value-laden field . Knowing is the only component of deciding , according to the Oxford Casebook of Forensic Psychiatry , which provides a crucial practitioner’s guide to judgment in clinical , forensic and legal psychiatry .
