A New Risk Management Tool, A New Educational Tool

This book is essential reading for anyone involved in the delivery of mental health services and it is especially useful in the teaching and application of ethical principles and practice. It takes the reader beyond the outdated “cook book” or “one size fits all” approach to risk management. It introduces an innovative model to assess and manage risk; one that takes into account the clinician’s skills, training, and expertise rather than focusing solely on external factors, many of which may be ambiguous or beyond the practitioner’s control.
