A Pocket Guide to Risk Assessment and Management in Mental Health by Chris Hart provides an accessible and practical guide for mental health professionals. This updated edition covers everything needed to undertake risk assessments, including risk formulation, working in forensic settings, specific mental health disorders, models of suicide and self-harm, and triage. The book features practice recommendations rooted in the latest theory and evidence base, as well as clinical tip boxes, tables, diagrams, and case examples.
