3. FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY AND MEDICINE
Captive Patients, Captive Doctors: Clinical Dilemmas and Interventions in Caring for Patients in Managed Health Care
This article explores common clinical dynamics resulting from the
denial of choice that many patients experience in managed health
care and proposes clinical adaptations for the treating or
consulting psychiatrist.
4. FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY AND MEDICINE
A New Resource for Managing Managed Care Malpractice Risks
Managed care, by superimposing nonclinical decision-making
imperatives on the traditional doctor-patient-family relationship,
is creating new ethical dilemmas and, in turn, additional liability
risks for physicians already well aware of the need for malpractice
prevention.
5. AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PSYCHIATRY AND THE LAW
Conducting Forensic Examinations on the Road: Are You Practicing Your Profession Without a License?
