ReviewsThe Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry is an important step toward informing public policy makers, correctional administrators, and correctional health professionals about the complexity of identifying and treating prisoners with mental illness and related conditions. The book is comprehensive and readable. It explains physicians' dual duties of non-maleficence and beneficence, while taking readers on a journey that acquaints them with the evidence-based practices and interventions that are known to reduce morbidity and mortality. The authors explore pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions with cogent balance. Robert B. Greifinger MD Professor of Health and Criminal Justice and Distinguished Research Fellow at John Jay College of Criminal Justice In this multi-authored text editors Bob Trestman, Ken Appelbaum, and Jeff Metzner have put together an invaluable resource for all psychiatrists interested in treating patients in correctional psychiatry. Chapters are written by the leading United States and International experts in correctional psychiatry. The text comprehensively covers the waterfront of what any psychiatrist interested in treating patients or improving systems in corrections needs to know. I highly recommend this book for both novice and experienced practitioners. Jeffrey S. Janofsky, M.D. Director, Psychiatry and Law Program Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine The editors have used their encyclopedic vision of correctional psychiatry along with a group of prominent contributors to create an outstanding resource. The text provides theoretical and practical insights into the clinical, legal and ethical issues that are relevant to correctional psychiatry and easily earns its place as a must read for forensic mental health professionals, educators, and trainees. Attorneys, administrators of jails and prisons, and policy makers will also find this well written text a valuable resource. J. Richard Ciccone, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry The publication of this Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry, edited by three renowned correctional psychiatrists, could not be timelier as correctional psychiatry has undergone extraordinarily dramatic changes in recent years. This is the first textbook devoted solely to correctional psychiatry - which is now recognized as a critical component of community psychiatry. The breadth and depth of this textbook is epitomized by the fact that there are thirteen sections each of which contain separate chapters - by major authorities - usually of profound depth. Topics often neglected or omitted are thoroughly elucidated and, most importantly, accompanied by suggestions for the clinical practitioner. This textbook is a superb resource and will, no doubt, be the "gold standard" in correctional psychiatry for the foreseeable future. Henry C. Weinstein, MD Clinical Professor of Psychiatry New York University Medical Center "At last, a truly comprehensive textbook on correctional psychiatry! Edited by well known leaders in correctional psychiatry, the Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry, addresses all aspects of correctional psychiatry, including little discussed, but critical and useful topics. Each chapter is concise, cogent, clearly written, and therefore remarkably easy, pleasureful to read. As a comprehensive text of the numerous mental health challenges as well as the structures, procedures, cultures and dynamics within correctional systems, the Oxford Textbook belongs in the professional library of every correctional clinician and administrator as well as every mental health, correctional health and forensic reference library." --Alan R.

SynopsisCorrectional psychiatry has received increasing recognition as an area of practice with unique skills and knowledge. The Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry brings together American and international experts to provide a comprehensive overview of the field. Students and psychiatric residents will find basic information that prepares them for clinical rotations, and psychiatrists working in jails and prisons will find a detailed review of the complex issues that arise in these settings. The Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry contains 73 chapters divided into 14 sections. The first three sections address history, structure, and processes including chapters on case law, human rights, ethics, organization and funding of systems, and stages of patient management that cover initial assessments through re-entry. The next three sections review in turn a broad array of management issues, emergencies, and psychopharmacology topics. Among other topics, these sections include chapters on sleep, detoxification, reassessment of community diagnoses and treatments, diversion programs, levels of care, malingering, substance use within facilities, and formulary management. Section seven has chapters on common psychiatric disorders, relevant medical disorders, and pain management. Sections eight through ten focus on psychotherapeutic options, suicide risk management, and addictions treatment. Chapters on aggression, self-injury, and other behavioral challenges appear in Section eleven. Section twelve reviews unique assessment and treatment needs of many distinct population groups. Special topics such as forensics, psychological testing, sexual assaults, quality improvement, training, and research, appear in Section thirteen, followed by a section devoted to current resources in correctional healthcare. The range of topics covered and the number of prominent contributors set this book apart from other available resources. Readers at all stages of their careers will gain the depth of understanding and practical information they need to approach all of the common clinical, organizational, and ethical challenges they face., Correctional psychiatry has received increasing recognition as an area of practice with unique skills and knowledge.
