- Summary:
- Since the shutdown of the public psychiatry system, the seriously mentally ill are now mostly managed by public safety officers, school officials, emergency first responders and social workers with little experience in recognizing symptoms, triggers, and issues. This book addresses the need to recognize the psychiatric component of criminological issues and the methodology of dealing with it on a practical as well as academic basis. It provides a roadmap for training in rapid assessment built on evidence-based emergency psychiatry protocols. The authors make a stark warning of an oncoming epidemic of suicidal violence affecting our youth as well as psychopathogens borne by digital media that are effectively rewiring an entire generation.
