PsychiatryOnline Free Book of the Month - Clinical Manual for Assessment and Treatment of Suicidal Patients

As a PsychiatryOnline.com customer, QMC has access to a free PDF version of a featured book every month from the American Psychiatric Publishing Inc. Bookstore.

May’s feature of the month is Clinical Manual for Assessment and Treatment of Suicidal Patients, by John A, Chiles, M.D. and Kirk D. Strosahl, Ph.D.

The authors, a psychiatrist and clinical psychologist, combine their diverse training and disciplinary backgrounds to create a workable approach to dealing with suicidal patients. Much more than merely an academic text on suicide, this thought-provoking handbook provides detained guidance and a true sense of what to do to help suicidal patients. Practitioners in all domains of health care–clinicians, residents, therapists, and graduate students in psychiatry, psychology, social work, and nursing–will benefit from this valuable and accessible work.

HML’s Digital Library is Up & Running

HML’s Digital Library is now 100% operational!

Need help learning how to use it? HML is pleased to offer the following:

• For a short, quick tour of our redesigned digital library, go to http://www.hml.org and in the “How do I” section, click on “Use the redesigned digital library”.
• For short, quick instructions on how to log in if you’re off-campus, go to http://www.hml.org and in the “How do I” section, see the slideshow “How do I log in if I’m off-campus”.
• Too busy? Request a house call and an HML staff member will come to your office at your convenience.

In the coming months, HML will continue to work on the portals that are currently “under construction”. If you’d like a portal for your specialty or discipline, please contact us at library@queens.org. We are interested in working with you in creating these portals.
