This sixth volume in Stahl's Case Studies series presents a selection of clinical case studies in forensic psychopharmacology. Focusing on severe syndromes and clinical presentations found in the severely mentally ill who have become justice involved and/or required care in a state or forensic hospital facility, these cases illustrate questions that are routinely asked in psychiatric consultations. Following a consistent, user-friendly layout, each case features icons, tips and questions about diagnosis and management as it progresses over time, a pre-case self-assessment question, followed by the correct answers at the end of the case. Formatted in alignment with the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology's maintenance of psychiatry specialty certification, cases address multifaceted issues in an understandable way. Covering a wide-ranging and representative selection of clinical scenarios, each case is followed through the complete clinical encounter, from start to resolution, acknowledging the complications, issues, decisions, twists and turns along the way.
