This popular title provides a sound
practical guide to the complex world of management in psychiatric
practice, and is essential reading for senior trainees and
consultants. The editors have brought together a host of
knowledgeable and well-known authors who write from their
experience in the ever-changing National Health Service. Topics
covered include the various skills necessary for running services,
such as management of finances, resources and personnel issues, and
topics central to today’s changing scene, such as revalidation,
service users’ expectations and clinical governance. The book
concludes with a section on personal development, addressing such
issues as presentation skills, stress management, mentoring,
managing committees and dealing with the media. A chapter on
‘Surviving as a junior consultant’ is included and the book is also
very useful as a reference and survival guide for more senior
psychiatrists.
- Third edition has been completely
rewritten.
- Written by authors with direct, current
experience.

"Overall, this book gives a helpful
overview of the current state of mental health services for all
senior clinicians. Although the title suggests that the book
is targeted at psychiatrists, in my opinion the contents would be
useful to any senior clinician who has some involvement in running
or planning the delivery of mental health services."
- Journal of Mental
Health
"This is a useful work. I can think of no other
introduction to management for psychiatrists that is so wide in its
scope. ...For the final-year trainee, the consultant new to
management or the 'old hand' wanting to brush up on areas that have
changed in the past few years, it is a welcome and useful
'bench-book'."
