PsychiatryOnline August Book-of-the-Month

The August Book-of-the-Month from PsychiatryOnline is Professionalism and Ethics: Q & A Self-Study Guide for Mental Health Professionals, by Laura Weiss Roberts and Jinger G. Hoop.

This is a case-oriented approach to mental health ethics consisting of questions and answers that draw on 16 experts' personal experience in the care of people with mental illness, mental health research, and clinical training. Scenarios are presented that pose ethical issues: some narrow, to-the-point; and others that require a more nuanced approach.

The Book-of-the-Month can be accessed from the home page of PsychiatryOnline.
