Management for Psychiatrists
This popular title provides a sound practical guide to the complex world of management in psychiatric practice, and is essential reading for senior trainees and consultants. The editors have brought together a host of knowledgeable and well-known authors who write from their experience in the ever-changing National Health Service. Topics covered include the various skills necessary for running services, such as management of finances, resources and personnel issues, and topics central to today's changing scene, such as revalidation, service users' expectations and clinical governance. The book concludes with a section on personal development, addressing such issues as presentation skills, stress management, mentoring, managing committees and dealing with the media. A chapter on 'Surviving as a junior consultant' is included and the book is also very useful as a reference and survival guide for more senior psychiatrists. Third edition has been completely rewritten. Written by authors with direct, current experience.

Fully up to date with recent mental health legislation, this new edition is as comprehensive as it is invaluable.
