By Ph.D. Michael D. Jibson,M.D., Jibson MD, Michael D Until recently, the hospital care of patients with mental disorders was overseen by either rotating faculty at an academic hospital or a private psychiatrist who would manage both a clinic and an inpatient caseload. When one considers, however, that working in a hospital setting means treating acutely agitated or even violent patients, or individuals who have seriously harmed themselves, it’s clear that a dedicated, focused approach is needed. In The Psychiatric Hospitalist, Michael D. Jibson, M.D., Ph.D., and a cadre of experts make the case for hospital-based psychiatry, comprehensively describing not only its structure but also the qualities and skills needed to succeed in this setting. The book leverages vignettes and the insights of its contributors to examine the effects of background and training on a hospitalist career, opportunities for teaching and supervising in a hospital setting, diagnostic and treatment modalities, legal and ethical issues, and numerous other topics. Both novice and experienced clinicians will find the tools they need in this volume to flourish professionally, even as they make a notable impact on their patients’ lives.
