Clinical Guide to Mental Disability Evaluations de Liza Gold

Clinical Guide to Mental Disability Evaluations

Editat de Liza Gold, Donna L. Vanderpool
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 11 ian 2013
Disability evaluations are the most common clinical mental health evaluations conducted for nontreatment purposes. They place mental health professionals in the role of communicating information that is typically confidential to administrative and legal systems. Unfortunately, mental health professionals receive little to no training in conducting assessments that focus on disability and disability management, and often do not understand the implications and risks of providing this information, especially without conducting what are often specialized evaluations. Clinical Guide to Mental Health Disability Evaluations is geared for general mental health practitioners, providing them with the basic information needed to competently provide the various types of disability evaluations. It also provides enough information to inform forensic mental health providers in conducting more specialized evaluations.

Recenzii

From the reviews:
“The book begins by addressing some of the most basic questions about how to handle requests for disability evaluations and general assessment of the issues, and flows methodically through evaluative issues … . Chapters end with a concise, but relevant, reference section, as well as sections of key points and conclusions. … can offer clinicians the opportunity to serve their patients and everyone else involved in these procedures more productively and comprehensively.” (Steven T. Herron, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2013)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

Millions of people with psychiatric disorders are competitively employed in the United States labor force.At any given time, some employees with mental health problems may want or need to leave the workplace due to these disorders, either temporarily or permanently; others want to remain at or return to work despite mental health impairments. The administrative and legal employment policies and decisions governing these employment actions require medical documentation of psychiatric impairment and disability. Therefore, when occupational circumstances requiring evaluation of psychiatric impairment and disability arise, mental health professionals are called upon to conduct evaluations and document occupational impairments. Clinicians at all levels of training are bound to be asked to provide some form of disability evaluation for individuals who have been or still are competitively employed.
The Clinical Guide to Mental Health Disability Evaluations fills a need of increasing importance for practitioners in all mental health fields and at all levels of training, including general clinical psychologists and psychiatrists and forensic mental health specialists. The Guide offers comprehensive practical information needed to navigate the confusing intersection of the worlds of mental health, public and private agencies that adjudicate disability, and legal requirements that govern agencies and employers and protect individuals with mental disorders from illegal discrimination. Chapters review salient issues such as legal and ethical concerns, malingering, psychological testing, return to work issues, and complex boundary issues. The second half of the Guide addresses practical issues in specialized evaluations, including those required by
• Social Security Disability Insurance
• Workers’ Compensation claims
• Private insurers providing long-term disability benefits
• The Americans with DisabilitiesAct
• Workplace violence concerns
• Fitness for duty evaluations, including specific chapters for physicians, health care personnel, and law enforcement officers
The Guide ably addresses the need for training in conducting and documenting disability evaluationsand will improve mental health professionals’ understanding and competence in fulfilling all the important roles they occupy in the disability process.
